I ended up getting mine from Unbeatable as it seemed to be the best price. I subsequently saw if for a couple of quid less somewhere else, but can't remember where. Didn't upset me too much.

It's a good bit of kit for the money.

Sorry guys, I don't own any sort of console. It's been a couple of years since I last played a PC game and then it was only in stereo :-( Maybe when my kids are older.

I can imagine the games must be pretty imersive (?) with surround.

steev - have you heard of the Yammy VS10 system- dixons are doing it for under 200 quid.

is the htib45 worth the extra money?

I considered that system along the way, but the HTiB has the following advantages:

Pro-Logic II (well worth it for TV)
More inputs
RDS Radio
Easily upgradeable
Phantom rear for 6.1 (not tried yet)

I considered those to be worth the extra. YMMV
