Thanks to all three of you for the feedback, especially the reality check on the subwoofer . It seems very easy to get addicted to adding or upgrading just one more thing.

I’m very new at this so the info on where to shop and good brands is very appreciated.

I am leaning in the direction of waiting on an HD DVD player as Wayne suggests but your idea on the Xbox 360 + HD DVD is intriguing since the Xbox is probably going to be my game machine choice anyway.
