More importantly, how does it sound? Been looking for a beach replacement for my old logitech PSP speakers,..this might do..

I have one of these, well, the Lifestyle 48 HTIB, and I'll say I'm pleased, and no I'm not a fool or ignorant about audio. I got it new off ebay and saved ~ $1800 off retail. Bose even replaced the entire system for free when it failed (after 4yrs of heavy use in a hot climate). It's a home theater, not studio quality monitors. The styling and space it takes up is gorgeous, and the audio for tv/movies is fantastic (I got the older bass module, the new one kinda sucks). It's admittedly not the best for music, but I primarily use it for tv/movies anyway, and when I do blast music it gives me what I need, but yes I can clearly tell there's much better out there. Also appreciated and frequently used is the RF remote, as opposed to the IR one on most other receivers. Bumping the volume and changing tracks from another room/floor is awesome.

Would I pay retail? Never. Would I buy again? Not the HTIB Lifestyle48 but yes on the V35 now that it supports multiple HDMI connections. Sure you could go patch together something that gives superior sound, but for the time and hassle of getting a coherent looking and sounding system, I'd just rather hunt ebay and get a good deal on this classy all in one.

Again, I'm very pleased with TV/Movie audio and only somewhat disappointed with music, which I have my Shure E500's for.

I had the same feeling, I got it so quicky! SOM was the best ever!! I bonded with my 2 next door neighbors over countless summer hours,..they just dont make co-op RPG like they used to.

For those of yall without friends, try Secret of Evermore.

I still can't find one of these that controls all my devices,..specifically my Bose Lifestyle 48,..let me look into this new one.

On airlines here in the states $3.50 barely gets you a small bag of M&Ms,..I'd totally rent this thing.

As if the recession hasn't encouraged enough people to turn to prostitution, now they can even accept plastic! Gotta love it.

Damn just when I was getting ready to get that RGB XBR8,.they leak the XBR12! Could it really look more beautiful?

The lack of cross title play is ridiculous, and will cripple the SF online community. There needs to be a low cost patch for the original owners, say if the game is $25,..then original game owners only pay $15 to upgrade...there are already less people playing this as other online games like Halo and COD come out, why split us more?

This game looks awesome, what's with the haters? DMC and GOW are just as over the top, and this looks even more polished,..the point of this game is that it's supposed to be crazy,..like someone else said, if you want boring realism then go play Tiger Woods or Flight Simulator.

For those who like this game but think the trailers are too much to keep up with, just relax, its a trailer, they are supposed to overload your senses, I'm sure the game will be much more paced than the 2min trailer.

This game is a total buy for me.

I'm so down for this, I have Papa John's and PS3 parties all the time! PS3 FTW! (though multiplayer just works better on 360,..for now)
