 | Panasonic TH-50PH9UK 50" Plasma Display
This doesn't come with a receiver or speakers, but has a great picture. Most cable companies give you a receiver, and I wanted surround sound, so had no intention of using the TV's speakers anyways.

 | Yamaha RX-V2700 - AV network receiver - 7.1 channel
Buy new: $799.00 A decent receiver to run everything through. The newer ones can run through a network apparently. Would have been nice to get my MP3s on it, but it does it's job. HDMI upscaling and a nice setup feature for laying out the speakers.

 | Cables Unlimited 6-Foot HDMI Male to Male Cable (PCM-2295-06)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $13.27 Don't bother with the monster ones. Doesn't seem to be a difference really. HDMI from the PS3 to the receiver, and the receiver to the TV.
|
 | Cables Unlimited 6-Feet HDmi To Dvi-d Cable (PCM-2296-06)
Buy new: $14.19 / Used from: $12.20 My Comcast box has a DVI out instead of HDMI. Annoying, but I run this into the other HDMI in on the receiver. Have to run the audio seperately.

 | Panasonic DMR-ES25S DVD Recorder with DV Input with HDMI and SD Card Slot
I got this because I didn't want to pay monthly for tivo or the comcast service. I've never gotten the TV Guide thing to work right, but the recording is fine. It's also got an HDMI output, although I realised that I ran out of slots on my receiver.

 | PlayStation 3 (60GB)
Buy used from: $249.99 My PS2 was dying, and I knew I wanted a blu-ray player. I really like it. Blu-rays are amazing looking. Looks like some great games ahead as well. It's set up through HDMI.
