Last year I bought a Sony Bravia 40" HDTV. Now I'm thinking about getting a Blu-Ray player and a home theater system. In the past, people had recommended just getting a PS3 instead of a stand-alone Blu-Ray player. Does the
Sony BDP-S350 player change that calculation for me? I've read that the step-up
Sony BDP-S550 is the choice only if you have some sort of home theater set up already because it has some backward-compatabililty with 5.1 surround sound components.
I was considering getting this Sony Home Theater setup as well:
Sony-HT-SS2300 home theater.
I don't want to get a PS3 because I'm afraid I'll lose my job if I get one.
Any advice from the technically inclined? All that I have hooked up to the TV now is an ancient Sony DVD player and a Comcast box with DVR. I have an old Tivo Series 2 that is sitting in my closet because it's not HD.
