Hi, I'm not sifu, just gives some own opinion...since you are planning to get PS3 in future, buying Sony HT-SF2300 would be a wise choice since it comes with 3 HDMI inputs....you can plug in your PS3, BD player to enjoy the Dolby TrueHD....However, if you have more budget, I strongly suggest you to buy a separate HT system rather than HTiB...

AFAIK, SF2300 has been discontinued. Last week, I went to Sony centre in KLCC, and ask for SF2300. Unfortunately, one of the salespersons said that this SF2300 will not be sold, unless u opt for a package "PS3 + SF2300" which the pricing is less than 4K. And I was told that a new replacement model of SF2300 will be launched soon. just stay tuned.  Added on July 1, 2009, 1:02 pmForgot to mention about HTZ777. I had a close look at this model too, and I personally don't think this is a good buy as the sound quality is not as good as SF2300. This post has been edited by kaneshi: Jul 1 2009, 01:02 PM

If i am in your place what will i do is i will settle with a low-end separate component HT. Buy a low end AVR (5.1 DTS and 5.1 Dolby digital) is enough. Choose your speaker separately. You might getting a headache because you need to buy everything from AVR, speakers, speaker cable, subwoofer cable, interconnect. At the end of day you will spend around RM2-3k at least for complete system. If you don't care about budget, go ahead. But if you don't have much money or you don't want a hard time to choose the speakers that suit your need or you need a lossless multi channel surround (PCM 5.1), go for SF2300.

Thanks for the advise, I not enough budget now, only can go for SF2300 or others. Do you know where I can get SF2300 with the cheapest price? I hear that SF2300 is discontinues? A guy offer me Panasonic SC-PT2300 with RM1500, is it worth ?

I'm Sorry, it is Panasonic SC-PT870  I just did a survey for RS-7, but it is expensive. RS-3 is below 2k, how you think? This post has been edited by SKINMan: Jul 11 2009, 02:37 AM

But donno whether the HDMI in only carry video or both video or audio. Either way it is still a good considering the price is cheap. Go ahead if it sounds nice to you.
