I bought the PS3 when it was $750 (launch 60GB). TV is worth $4000, souround sound is worth $1000 Monster Power box is $500 (got them all in a package deal at best buy for $4800, along with 5 $200 Monster Cables), HD PVR is $500, but I'm making monthly payments on it. The laptop was $3000 when I bought it back in November. I have 30 games ($70 ea.) = $2100. I could go on and on. Haha. But I had the games and movies and PSP and laptop long before I got the new TV and sound system deal.

I actually made the entertainment center (TV stand) myself because I didnt want to hang it on the wall (too hard to get to the wires and too hard to hide them), and because most of the nice looking stands were ridiculously overpriced. All in all, it took about a week to make, and cost $180. I'd highly recommend building the stand yourself for anyone planing to get a new TV and need a stand to go with it. It's generally cheaper, you can build it to match your decor and you have far less limitations. Here are some pictures I made on Microsoft Paint back in March, they are blueprints for my stand.

Final Setup (what I pictured it as):

What it turned out to be:

Pretty close if I say so myself. :P

I just bought all of my setup a week or so ago. Got it all set up. Gaming in HD is so awesome. I upgraded from a Panasonic 27" CTR 480i.I'm just turned 18 in July and I've been saving for a 2 years for everything, so I'm pretty proud of the setup. Tell me what you all think! :D

My gaming setup: 52 inch Sony Bravia XBR4, 1200w Sony Bravia wireless 5.1 home theatre system, HD PVR, 60GB Launch PS3, Monster HD Power Center 2400, Dell XPS M1330 (2.8ghz, 4GB of RAM, GeForce 8400GS, 320GB HDD), 30 games (26 of which are pictured, 17 Blu-ray movies (13 of which are pictured), PSP, 10 PSP games, 25 UMD movies (not pictured), Linksys WRT54G wireless router, Motorola Modem, Motorola Razr V3, Motorola BT headset, Jabra BT125 headset.
