I assume Jenn77 is setting up a HD HT system. The crucial factor,; What's your budget for this?

I ve replied ur PM. Btw, if have time, do drop by KLIAV Show (25 - 27 Jul)

if you are into console gaming then the PS3 is your best choice for BD movie watching. If you are not interested in console gaming, I suggest that you wait for Sony's profile 2.0 standalone BD player which will be priced SRP at $399 and $499. The $399 model is capable to doing DTS HD MA via Bit Stream where as the $499 is capable of decoding DTS HD MA. Once the Sony players are out, I believe we will see cheaper profile 2.0 BD players in the in the market from Sharp, Philips and probably Samsung and LG. The price is extremely expensive now considering NONE of the BD players are profile 2.0. Meaning you will not be able to profile 2.0 features in some BD movie.

Conclusion, get the PS3 if u r into gaming. The PS3 is capable of being profile 2.0 via firmware update. If not, wait for profile 2.0 players to hit the market. If you are not interested in extra features, please also, wait! once 2.0 players are out, profile 1.1 and 1.0 BD players will hit rock bottom. That will be the time to buy

Also, to listen to hidef soundtracks of Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital TrueHD, DTS HD and DTS HD Master, you will need a receiver capable of decoding all the above mention tracks. There is a thread on the Yamaha receiver that is capable of doing so. There is also a thread on the ONKYO receiver also, capable of doing the same

Finally, your TV. to view HD sources at its best, please equip yourself with a HDTV (preferable HD Ready with the built HD tuner - its NOTHING BUT WASTE OF MONEY in the case of Malaysia! we will NEVER get free to air HD channels and you dont need HD Tuner for Astro or U Television because their Decoder will do the job for you. My advise - get a >47" full HD 1080p TV or 1080i/720p for size from 32" to 46".
