Rookie in need of some friendly advice

[Tone Deaf]

Hello there. I've gained a lot of good advice form this site. Great folks...

And I've finally pulled the trigger on some equipment. But I need help with choosing a receiver to match. My thought is that I will have this baby a while (longer than I expect to have my projector anyway) and so I don't mind paying up a bit for the right model.

To date I've purchased the SV Sound SBS 100 with the PB10-NSD sub. My plans are for movies 50% and sports 49%....and so I thought this was a good system to go with.

Any reccomendations on which way to go for a receiver. A buddy told me to go with Denon but I respect the input I get here.

A DVD player rec would be appreciated as well.

Thanks as always

I may sound like a total loser but what does PS3 stand for? Is that a Play Station for video games??

thanks

A winner in that I am a loser or ps3 stands for play station? And if it does stand for that, why do I want to buy it?

I said "We have a winner" because you got the right answer to your own question.

The Play Station 3 is also a Blu-Ray player.

Not just a BR player, the finest machine on the market and yes it will play all your CDs, upconvert SD DVDs and let you surf the net, store and play all your music and all your pictures (wireless) and firmware upgrades come over about once a month.

I am not a gamer but this is the ultimate, everything you need piece of equipement.

Thanks pal.
So now here come the next dumb Q. It's a 2 part dumb asser:

1- why would a video game have a blue ray dvd in it?
2- Could it really perform as well as a dedicated blue ray dvd player?

The only dumb question is the question that doesn't get asked.

I don't have a PS3, but from what I've read it is an awesome machine.

1. More storage for games
2. It doesn't perform as well as a dedicated BD player. It performs better that most dedicated BD players. Unless you want to spend over $1000 for a Denon or Pioneer Elite.

You can get the PS3 40gb for $300 after a $100 refund using the SonyStyle Card on your very 1st purchase! ($400 for the 80GB if you want backwards compatibility w/ PS2 games)
OR, if you plan to buy a Sony HDTV, then you can use your SonyStyle Card to use points on it for a FREE PS3!

I got the 40gb PS3 mainly for Blu-Rayand SD DVD movie watching.
Its such a bargain compared to other Blu-ray players.
And to date, its the best BR Player!
