Decent sub-$100 sound bar with HDMI?

I have a 32" older model Sony Bravia in the bedroom that I use occasionally to watch tv in bed or use the xbox/ps3 when my real home theatre setup in the living room is occupied :) Long story short, the speakers on it are absolutely awful and I already have a little bit of a hearing problem with certain tones that can make dialog difficult to hear unless I jack it up.

I don't want anything fancy or expensive, a receiver would be overkill, and I figured one of these cheapo Vizio/Dynex/etc store brand speaker bars would be more than enough to be way better than the built in tin-cans and also act as an HDMI switch so I dont have to constantly swap devices depending on what I want to do.

Ideally it'll have 3 HDMI in, 1 HDMI out, a remote, and cost less than $100. 2.1, emulated 5.1, I dont care. Again, not looking for anything comparable to my living room system, just want something better than the built in and has HDMIs.

Any suggestions?

eBay, Boston Acoustics. No HDMI switching but just run the audio from your TV to the soundbar. No cable swapping required.

Thanks, but those are all easily above $100. Most of whats listed is in the 200-300 range.
