In fact, I've spent too much money this week. Started out with the Playstation 3. Then today, I ordered a Sony Bravia60" SXRD 1080P television! About to order an Onkyo receiver too. WOW, I'm gonna be poor for a while.

 

Man, you don't hold back. I know our 46" Bravia XBR set us back a pretty penny. 60" Damn! I bet that thing looks sharp!

 

hahaha, I called sony direct. They already were offering this TV for $500 off the regular price. Then the sony rep said he found a $100 off eCoupon,but he couldn't get it to work.[:@] But after waiting on the phone for another 5 minutes, he came back and said he was able to apply a $300 off eCoupon!!![8D] Freakin' awesome! The TV ended up being under $2K with free shipping!

 

Mark - reconsider your Onkyo... consider a Harman Kardon AVR 645 or 745.

 

defitnitly go with the harman kardon 745, that thing has hd upconverting for any video input with a single hdmi output to you tv

look here: http://www.harmankardon.com/product_detail.aspx?cat=REC&sType=S�=AVR+745

 

Any reason? (Personal preference?) I did a lot of research, and found the Onkyo TX-SR705 to be the most attractive option. I want to have HDMI v1.3 since the new TV will support it. Many receivers in the $600-$800 range don't seem to support this yet. All the reviews I have read on the Onkyo have been largely positive also.

 

The Onkyo will also upconvert to 1080P via HDMI.

 

just be happyou have that kind of cash laying around

 

Damn son, laying down some cash huh. I dropped near $8,000yesterday on my new 2008 ZX-6R. Laid down 80 Franklins. IT was painful

 

Well mark atleast you started with the ps3, damn man my 36in tv has been sitting in the corner for 4 months waiting to get fixed and I'm watching a 21 in....can I came over and play?
