Actually, the better strategy would be to just sell the wife outright.

Oh but she is such a great cook, and her kids would miss her dearly and drive me even more nuts.

By the way, never tell her anything that we say.

Don't worry, I learned that lesson a long time ago, when I didn't realize she was looking over my shoulder. lol

damnit...so the PS3 really isn't a viable option as far as movies go then.
followup question: what's the cheapest player out there (new or used) that will bitstream TrueHD and DTS-HD:MA to the reciever without compressing/downgrading it.

but that is also suspect due to it using an older chipset that may, or may not be able to EVER decode it.
Actually from what I can gather from the threads at avsforum is that the chipset won't allow the bitstream of DTS HD MA, but there's nothing that would prevent the PS3 from decoding it and sending it as pcm in theory. The question is whether it would be done or not. So while I can't say that the PS3 is the best bluray player out there it's definitely one of the best and one of the most future proof. I've had no glitches or problems with it and it's whisper quiet if I keep the room temperature low enough.

Panasonic BD30 is your best option if you have a audio processor that is HDMI 1.3 and will process HDMI audio (not all will). They can be found for about $425.

They can be found for about $425. 450$ is definitly more than i want to spend right now. i think i'm going to get a PS3 and then upgrade to a used BD30 in the future when prices drop. (And after buying a second EP500 )

I think it would be cheaper to upgrade your receiver to one that does all the decoding for you.
