Anyone have any recommendations to what would best???

At the moment I have a 40" Samsung HD lcd and ps3 and want a home theatre system to do the ps3 justice.

I'm setting a pretty tight budget as that's all I have to spend, around $400-$800.

Open to suggestions but I'm after something with full 360degree HD sound, doesn't have to be overly loud just good quality and fairly compact (Satellite speakers are a maybe) & looking for wireless capabilities.

Any help appreciated,

Brett.

Mate even those cheap surround systems can be good.I bought some no name brand thing from Aldi.The thing is awesome for the price.

Here are some systems in your price range:

I think you need an amp for the Creative products,im not sure.

How big is the size of the room where the PS3 is in?

Logitech Z5500 would be good for small to mid size rooms & they are available in about every electronic shop.

For larger size rooms, I heard those entry level Yamaha home theater packages are pretty decent (comes with a 5.1ch receiver & speakers), think JB hi fi have some in stock.

Nah, they should have build in amp like most other PC speakers.

If you can afford to wait and save a bit extra I'd recommend you get a bigger system. The ps3's sound quality it awesome and you should try to maximise it! I use it watch all my movies and stuff on as well as gaming. It kicks arse!

Try to get a 6.1 receiver. Yamaha is always a good price for what you get in return. And get some solid speakers! JB or Harvey Normal have a good range. Harvey Norman usually has a higher floor price, but you be able to negotiate a waaaaaaaay lower price than JB. (usually). Accusound are good speakers! Australian made too :banana:

The room is fairly small that's thing I won't need a super power full system, only prob is it's an open room and no door...

Also considering this system here it has the optical link, and the anynet connection that will go well the samsung lcd

In that case, the Z5500 would be good for you, that or any other high end PC speakers, (from like Creative, Altec lansing etc etc)

The Z5500 has optical input with build in DD & DTS decoders, & I'm pretty sure most other high end PC speakers also do.

The link doesn't work.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
