receiver for ps3

[arsh231]

will i need a Receiver that can decode Dolby TrueHD and the other one? Or does it not matter since the ps3 already does that for me.

so does that mean all i need is a receiver that has hdmi input and output? plz and thank you

also i live in canada so if you can post links for bestbuy.ca of a good cheap receiver that would be nice

How much are you willing to spend on a receiver? What's cheap to some may be expensive for others.

With a PS3 you will not need the HD codecs supported on the receiver. However, if you think you will ever upgrade to a stand-alone player that supports bitstreaming the HD codecs to a receiver, you may want on e that supports it.

BestBuy Canada has the Yamaha HTR-6130B on-sale this week for $179 CDN. It's part of their 50 Doorcrashers of the week which ends July 30. It's certainly cheap enough, but might not meet your needs.

i need to buy speakers too got in mind from best buy cheap ones plz but should go well with this receiver

[bluRazor]

people here could prob help you find some better deals than bestbuy. whats your speaker budget?

[arsh231]

the thing is i can only buy from bestbuy and i can not buy from online. as for the budget on the speakers it is no more the $300 because i will be buying a tv and a receiver at the same time. also the speakers

If you not getting stand alone blu-ray player, any receiver with or without hd would work fine, consider sony entry level receiver which around 280 in amazon that can do decorde hd and 7.1 speaker support. You might want 7.1 speaker since many ps3 game now support it.
