I use an insignia brand one in my bedroom. It's Bestbuy's brand. For $60 it's not a bad deal. It's 5.1 surround and honestly for the price I couldn't have asked for better. Although speakers are on the cheap side.

Bought a 5.1 system not too long ago, the Logitech Z-5500, amazing sound. The pricetag was 300 euro's but it was well worth it, one of the best systems for your PS3 at this time.

this is the one i was looking at:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8457136&type=product&id=1184369166945

main reason i liked it cause it has three hdmi inputs and an hdmi output, this is the cheapest i have seen that allows full hdmi pass through. so i can hook up my ps3 straight to this then this to the tv and get full surround fromt he ps3. pretty sweet. only thing i dont like is that it has a passive sub, although in the future i will probably just add a better powered sub.

what do you think?

First, that Insignia is a piece of crap and a waste of money. The onkyo is nice, but I just picked up the Sony strdg 910. It goes well with the ps3 being that it is 7.1 and operates on linear pcms. this means you are getting the sound closest to the studio. it also is one of the rare and hard to find receivers that you can purchase that actually transmits sound via hdmi. many receivers just do video and big businesses are trying to trick you so watch out. The people at Circuit City and Best Buy don't even know that some of the receivers with hdmi only do video...this means you need a digital coaxial to get sound, what's the point of hdmi then? Make those guys work for you. Check out avs forums too! The sony I picked up for like 360. Search Amazon.

Try looking at used speaker systems at your local Circuit City for cheap... I got a complete Onyko HT-SR790 w/ 7.1 surround sound that's XM compatible for only $229. :)

Skrilla, It's not a receiver set really and its all inclusive. Most good receivers cost somewhere around 300-1000. Speakers can be about the same. So to see this sony bravia set I wouldn't touch. Like I said, the sony str910 is a nice deal. Then you can just find speakers. You want to look for linear pcms, full hdmi connection(audio and video), tru dolby digital. This is what I look for.

Thanks for all the feedback peeps. i'm gonna do some more research on this home theatre jargon. most of you have really helped though and i'm starting to make sense of it. i think i'm willing to spend a couple hundred £££'s (double it for $$$'s) on a nice system, but to be honest i dont think i'll need the whole damn shabang. some solid bass and some nice surround sound will do me fine.

for accesories i still think that logitech has the best, in all categories. As far as surround sound, i have an (i dont know) 5.1 surround sound system that was like 60 bucks, and so far it works flawlessly

If you can get a home audio system then try for a Pioneer they kick ass and can be had for under $300 if you look around. Also someone suggested the Z-5500 from logitech. A friend of mine has that system and it truly is awesome...I was going to buy the same one but bought my Pioneer system instead :)
