Normally $799, the SR5005 is an extremely flexible and capable Home Theater receiver. It has 7x100 watts per channel, 4 HDMI v1.4 inputs, Anchor Bay 10-bit Video Processing/Scaling and can decode any audio codec under the sun.

I'm not sure how long this price is good but I'm sure that it is in anticipation of new product announcements at CEDIA.

Note for you LOTR fanboys, this is not the Extended Editions. But for $7.99 each, you can enjoy the films now, and sell them when the Extended Editions do finally come out. Just a thought. ]]>Mon, 22 Nov 2010 17:43:17 GMThttp://www.hometheaterspot.com/showtopic.php?tid/144373http://www.hometheaterspot.com/showtopic.php?tid/144373
They have a massive collection high-end cabling and can certainly save you significant dollars over buying new.

I have purchased from them in the past and have always had great experiences. The offer a 30 day full value exchange policy even on used cables!

This gives you a hassle free opportunity to try out some different cables without getting hosed by your local "full retail" dealer should the cables not work well with the rest of your gear.

Check out their website... even if you aren't buying it's fun to browse.

I have no idea if this is a good player, but thought I'd share.

From an Amazon review...

Technical Specifications:

- Profile 1.1 (BD BonusView Enabled)
- Front access USB port for convenient firmware updates
- Full HD output
- 7.1 channels of surround sound with Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, and dts-HD Master Audio technologies

This is an excellent entry-level blu-ray player.

So, might be good for non-internet connected relatives?

If you've answered yes to any of the questions above, then despair no more. In the past five years or so, home theater seats have surpassed the comfort and support provided by the traditional movie theater seat.

Home theater seating can range from actual movie theater seats with beverage holders to more plush reclining club chairs and home theater loungers with footrests and built in wireless bass audio.

But how do you choose a good home theater seating? Below are some tips on how to choose a home theater seating that is just right for you.

Tips on how to choose the right home theater seating

The first thing to ask yourself is how many will you normally seat?

- If you prefer your home viewing to be strictly limited to yourself and your only daughter, then you will only need a seating for a small group of three.

- If you are planning to invite the whole neighborhood, then you may need to create one or more rows of grouped seating just like in a real theater. You can choose to have single seats carefully placed in your home entertainment or rumpus room or build a group of 2, 3 or 4 chairs.

Amazon
Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] (2004)

Sale: $174.99


I've been tracking this price for a while.

$200 7/29
$220 on 7/8/09 - see David Vaughn review
$169 & change with the Deepdiscountdvd 25% off code -- not anymore
Then up to $253 (9/25/09)
$206 10/14/09
$175 10/31

so, near the DDVD 25% off code discount price.

I'm in.
(Time to consolidate my DVDs out of collection and complete the series).

Nov 3 pre-order
$140 for 10 JB BR's


Dr. No
From Russia with Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
Live and Let Die
Moonraker
For Your Eyes Only
The World is Not Enough
Die Another Day
Quantum of Solace

Basically the same as BR packs #1, #2, #3 + QOS.

I already own QOS, but I can get the 10 pack and sell/give that away.
$14/BR is pretty good.

I just wish they came out with the entire collection all at once -- maybe for Christmas?
