Ok, I'll play too.

All costs are at the time they were purchased.

TV: Samsung HPT5064 (50" plasma, 1080i - 2007 model, perhaps time to upgrade?) cost $1150 - got a great open box deal on this a few years ago, still looks great

Receiver: Sony STRDH800 7.1, 100 W x 8 channels (2009 model) $269 - great midrange receiver with 4 HDMI inputs and more than enough power for my little entertainment room in the basement

Cable: Shaw Motorola HD Terminal DCT-6416, $395 - standard from Shaw when I bought it in 2007

Game console: PS3 60GB (recently upgraded to 500GB) $400 - we've played so much Rockband 2 on it that the disk has begun to become translucent

Blu-Ray: Sony BDPS560 (2009 model) $199 (open box deal) - at first I was on the fence about having a stand alone BDP when I already have a PS3, but the sound quality takes a step up when you do from the PS3

Speakers: 5 Pioneer bookshelves from old 5.1 system (cc 2001), 2 new Polk Audio bookshelves to fill out the back channels (cc 2009)

Subwoofer: 8 inch 100w Soundstage subwoofer (cc 2008), $300

Serves me very well.

As above, looking possibly to upgrade my TV to 1080p. I want to go above 50", because even in a small room such as in my basement, I'm sitting at the max viewing distance of 12'. Think I would like to stick with plasma. Any suggestions?

Also, has anyone here taken the plunge and opted for one of the new Samsung or Panasonic 3D HDTVs?
