I was leaning towards the Yamaha, but with the Onkyo being on sale (and having more HDMI inputs), I'm reconsidering.

I remember reading somewhere that there are audio delay issues with the Onkyo, especially with video gaming. Right now, my PS3 is both my blu-ray player and my gaming console. I'm just wondering if how many Onkyo owners has noticed audio delays, since audio cues are kind of important in games. Thanks!
Never heard about that, never had it on my PS3/Xbox 360/Wii and Onkyo 605. Even if I did, there's a setting you can change to reduce any input lag. I would say it's not a factor. However the Yamaha 663 is supposed to be an excellent receiver as well (I mean, lookit the DACS!) so I don't think you can go wrong either way.
