Hello my name is Tim and i'm from indianapolis. I googled blu-ray because i am thinking about getting into it and this site came up first so here i am.

From reading and research i think i will get a PS3. Right now i have a 52" samsung lcd & 5 polk speaker set. So my goal is to get a PS3 & a receiver.

I purchased a new house last year & had updates done to it, like a new deck, privacy fence etc. etc. So money has been tight. I am well to do but not rich or have close to what some of you have here by any means keep that in mind lol.

But yea the last gaming system i own is PS2 and yes i feel like i might be getting into a ps3 kinda late but i dunno? I played the uncharted demo at a friends a while back and i will definatley get that!

So just wondering your opinions. Whats the best PS3 to go for i think theres a couple different ones. And what is like 2 games to get. plus what will i need in all to get started.

And on the other hand whats a good receiver that doesnt cost a arm and a leg to go with what i will have all together.


Thats my story..and my questions...lol Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions & info
