Thanks mosh! This makes up for missing the Logitech Z-5500 deal :p My in-laws needed a new DVD player anyway ;)

Edit: "Store Pickup: Not Available" Looks like site-to-store is not an option :(

Newegg reviews look good overall, only caveat seems to be that the USB port is kind of flakey unless you're using a small jumpdrive instead of a USB hard drive

$11.20 Optical to Coax Digital Audio Converter (if you have something with TOSlink instead of Coax RCA digital output)

I know I shouldn't expect much from an HTIB costing $200, let alone $60, but that 1000W rating is just plain ridiculous, from a package weighing a grand total of 34 lb (including the 5 sat speakers and subwoofer). No wonder there's no mention of how the power is rated.
