Want to by a surround sound system for my bedroom, but only have 200 bucks...I want to know whats the best surround sound system i can get for that money. All help will be appreciated..

$200 isn't much but for that price I would look at the Samsung HTDB120 (Includes a DVD Player) or the Sony HTDDW660 (Doesn't have a DVD Player).

No I mean home theatre wise...but its not like i need much... its for a pretty small room.
 
I've got $200 for a HTIB myself and I'm going to get one of the $200 Pioneer ones from walmart that includes a DVD player. I tried it out there and it sounds pretty good in the store 🙂

Could you please link?
 
I'm not sure what the best deal is for sub-200, but I would advise you to steer away from the Koss all-in-one home theater systems -- my gf and her brother each had one that their parents gave as xmas presents and, while the sound is decent, the dvd player is frustrating. It will freeze up midway through movies regularly. But the worst part, by far, is that it's almost impossible to find an universal remote that has a code for it.

My home theater system is an Onkyo 5.1 that my gf got me for xmas that runs ~300 and is very nice. My only complaint is that it doesn't do component video switching, but otherwise it's solid and sounds great.

that doesn't matter, I would STILL get the z680's, it has built in dolby digital and DTS decoding. Pick up a cheap apex/any other taiwanese dvd manufacture with optical out/coax out and BAM, instant HT.
