PS3 + 1080p HDTV + Casino Royale on Blu-Ray + Surround Sound = An awesome home theater experience.

You can pretty much replace Casino Royale with anything the PS3 will play

Dark Knight on Blu Ray is pretty awesome.

Congrats on the PS3. Now go and buy Bioshock. You should be able to find it pretty cheap. And then wait patiently for God of War III like the rest of us.

Buy Bionic Commando Rearmed. It's a remake of the old NES game and it is only $10 on the PS network. Well worth the price of admission.

Well I have had the surround sound, blu ray, and the TV for sometime now. We actually have a Blu ray player in the bedroom and living room.
So this is my third blu ray player in the house.

I am selling one of my blu ray players in the classifieds.

Casino Royale is pretty amazing in blu. My Blu collection is like at 100 movies now and only a hand full of the movies still impress me. Casino Royale, Darkknight, All the fast and furious (Cant believe I am admitting this), The 2nd transformers.......

I ended up moving the Ps3 to my bedroom so I can sit closer to the Tv now. Simply amazing.

Anyone played Arkham asylum or NFS Shift.

Too bad its xbox exclusive. I am still rocking the old school forza on my OG xbox.

So I really like the racing games, I bought a used copy of NFS undercover and Midnight club Wow just aweful. Luckily game stop has a return policy on used games. Returned both and got Arkham.

I prefer all of those F&F > transformer 2....

Anyways I recommend checking out Speed Racer if you have not, its one of the best.

I saw a deal last week on buydig for a 55" LG LED/LCD 1080p 120Hz (non-3D) with a HD Blu-Ray player home theater system for $1,399, free shipping and no tax. I almost took the plunge... what's sad is that I was actually looking up deals for my parents and when I came across that, I wanted one for myself. I'm rocking a 4-year-old 50" Samsung DLP and a 42" Toshiba LCD right now. I want a 55-60" LCD so bad.
