Uhm they have a blutooth one from ps that works good and is nice since it goes with the system
My home cinema ? Nothing naughty : The latest iMac 3.06 with Front Row and the Remote Control + 2.1 Logitech Speakers + 2 LaCie External HD for storing movies + Creative X-Fi External Sound Card + Some stupid uncomfortable kitchen chairs 
Here is my bedroom, which is where I do most of my media watching.
Sony Trinition 30" 30HS420
Yamaha RX-V650
XBOX 360 + HD-DVD Drive
PlayStation 3
budget speakers that I spent about $225 for all five.
Some pictures, taken with my super wide Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm.
A couple of overall shots (yes my desk is messy, I will deal with that tomorrow):
Super wide shot of the TV and media and consoles:
And a slightly better of the media (I suppose I could have used my faster lens on this shot...)

so thats what u play ur ps3 on? interesting i hooked mine up to my 20" lg wide monitor but only get 720p but thats way better than 420
.... i shall post mine up soon.
hmm, should have spent some of those bucks on a nicer bedspread
Looks cool, but maybe you should have some things to do in the public areas of the house rather than have it all in your room? Do you ever see your family?
lol his parents are probably like my parents dont care about media tv + dvd and there set but in my house we shalll be getting a big tv in the basement just for those reasons i think + ps3 bluray etc hd
i have a tv in my room but never use it since its a small tube 13" so i hooked my ps3 to my monitor along with my emac but i leave my room lots i dont spend too much time on the computer/ ps3 since its summer.
Here's what I have in the living room. 55" Sony, Onkyo 705, JBL E80s + EC35 in the front (80s are bi-amped) and Polk 40s in the back (not pictured). Wii, Airport Express, cd changer, upscaling dvd player, Harmony 880 remote. The receiver runs too hot where it is now; need to buy/build a separate component shelf.
Ignore the hideous curtains and rug
Just for fun, picture of the back of the receiver.

"Uhm" the Sony Bluetooth remote is not a universal remote, that was the whole point of the discussion. I too will never buy a PS3 to be my Blu-Ray player (unless someone comes up with a 100% IR solution, including power on/off) because Sony was too cheap to include a $0.10 IR receiver in the system. I've got my Harmony remote that controls everthing, even my Apple TV and 360, and I worked hard to get it that way, and I'm not going to add a second remote just for Sony.
The reason I have all this in my room is because when it was in the Family Room, I never got to use it, since my brother was always hogging the TV.hmm, should have spent some of those bucks on a nicer bedspread

And what is wrong with my bedsheets?! Most of my friends think they are cute and awesome.
Pretty much how it is, I bought my dad a 46" HD rear projection CRT and I took the Trinition, I bought most of the movies we have, so my parent don't mind too much that I have a small part of the collection in the room.
That is an HDTV....
Yah.... and I must say, Metal Gear Solid + HDTV + Fancy sound = holy effin sh*t.! Seriously, when you get pretty much addicted and stare in deep concentration into the screen, have the speakers way up loud and a stupid thing jumps behind you (in the game OFC) and makes a rumbling sound, you'll poop your pants; one of the Boss's in the game [Laughing Octopus] does that haha (I jumped "out of my seat" hahah)
As for the 720p versus 1080p fight; meh, I get 720p and it looks as good (in 32inch) as my cousin's 6 month newer Toshiba HDTV. For movies, games, still pics and others, I guess the panel resolution won't matter that much under 47", but if you're gonna use it as a computer display then the higher res the better (but then again you'll find better displays @ higher res for less dough, smaller though, for computers)

Please excuse the mess. I have 3 younger sisters that seem to leave all their **** behind everywhere. Drives me and my dad INSANE.

How do you like the 705? I am deciding between the 606, 705, or waiting for the 706. thanks in advance for any advice.
Mine is a media thing, ps3, and soon to be tv, since my parents arent big into ps3 being on our main tv i found hdmi to dvi and made it hd with my monitor, the speakers are some small sony ones, i use for my computer and sound for the ps3 if anyone wants to know how i did it pm me..... so heres some pics it looks more as a computer setup........ But use it for everything.

I'm so desperately trying find a nice, simple TV stand that can house my center channel speaker and all components without spending $700+. I'm having trouble.
