home cinema systems - all in ones

[admin_exported]

I have a tiny problem, since I am still living the student life and have exams I can't go out and get a job. I have no source of income. But my birthday is coming up and I've been buging my parents for a cinema system. Firstly I thought of waiting and saving to buy a seperate amp and speaker system but then I realised with my current situation I could be waiting years.

Anyway, I have decided to go the cheap and nasty all in one route. But I woundered if any of you out there have gone this route and found yourselves pleasently surprised.
At the moment I have seen, but not heard the sony Dav-Dz560 in comet for £300 as well as this I invested in a which complete guide and found the JVC TH-D5 with an esstimated price of £245. My parents are willing to spend a maximum of £300.

What I currently have is a 42LG3000 and a ps3, I would use the system for primarily watching films, tv and gaming but that's it. I don't use it for music.
However, my mum, had banned me or my dad from mounting our tv, or ceiling mounting our projecter or even putting up a projector screen so I was thinking of maybe stealing my ps3 and newly aquired speaker set and putting it in my room, Where I have a 23LG flatron, which you can't wall mount but hoping to upgrade to a sony 37"4000 or something like that. Wall mount that and never be seen out of my room again

But any advice or anything, is appreciated

Thanks

Ollie

budget system

Hey guy's I'm new to the whole home cinema thing,
Well I've been looking around for my first surround sound system, which is hurting my brain now :/
But I have contacted an audio site and they have recommended I wait for the Onkyo 507 to come out, seeing as I'm on a budget.
I was also considering MJ Acoustics Xeno system. I think i could probably squeeze a deal out of the company to get the package price under £1000.
Is this a good choice or not?
I've read mixed reviews and am slightly confused.
Thanks for any contributions in advance
Ollie

Note : you certainly are confused!

Yeah, I was going for the £1000 mark but then my parents completely said it was out of the question so i'm having to be happy with an all in one or nothing at all.

Another option for you could be a soundbar especially if you are going to use it in your bedroom. On Amazon there is a Samsung HT X810R with a wireless Subwoofer and can play DVDs that is approx £365 or the excellent Yamaha YSP 600 that is £305.97, both have favourable reviews.
