Yes, but I want one with at least three HDMI inputs so I need a relatively good one. Plus it needs composite inputs that will upscale to full HD 'till I upgrade to SkyHD +/- blueray.Teaos wrote:Sweet set up, you can pick up a pretty good surround sound system on ebay for pretty cheap, my Brother got a 2k one for about $300. In perfect shape to since sound systems dont really degrade through time.

Heh, I've done well getting good budget stuff for a student in a tiny bedroom. I do have 2.1 PC speakers which deliver spectacular sound by the standards of such things (both my desktop and laptop have hi def audio), and my bluetooth headset has good sound.

Do they not make HDMI switch boxes with RCA input/outputs as well? I'm looking for a switch to use with the PS3/Xbox/Stereo (the monitor sounds like ass) but I can't find one that has the RCA input.

Well, I've just ordered a Sony BDPS350 Black Blu-ray player and a Sony HT-IS100 surround sound system. The SS has three HDMI inputs plus at least three component +/- digital inputs. Should make for a pretty amazing package when coupled with the TV.

Something is wrong with one of my friends at work, she was walking around with her head down and wouldn't talk to anyone.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Well I'm finally back properly from my "holiday". I have been around very occasionally as you may have noticed but the majority of the time I was browsing from my iTouch or internet cafes so wasnt being very interactive.
As someone pointed out I have been away a lot since around December. Basially this is two reasons, one, very simply, I havent had a holiday since I left high school almost 5 years ago. But mainly because as some of you may have noticed we're in a bit of a economic slump, and pretty mucht the first thing to be cut in slumps are luxuries... such as jewellery. Yeah so pretty much fucked. So while I have been on holiday it is partly because I have much less to to do than usual and partly because I'm now traveling a bit to find new places to sell.
On the plus side apart from the lack of work it has been an awesome time, Traveling all across the country, meeting great people, great adventures, falling in love, working with some amazing artists. So a win lose situation.
But either way I should be back to my regualr shedual for the next few months at the very least.
Got a shit load to catch up on though... and a few ideas on stuff to do.

What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I have a migraine, and have a stomach bug, so as of now, I'm in a sucky mood, because I feel sucky. Oh and my cat is insane!
