Which HTiB for PS3?

[Kyo28]

I use my PS3 as bluray player and was wondering which HTiB system would go well with it. I would like to connect the PS3 via HMDI to the receiver and then from there again with HDMI to the HDTV for video output.

I thought Onkyo has some good systems for that purpose. Any feedback for specific models or other brands you can recommend?

I hope to get a system of maximum 700 USD, as the room we watch blu's in isn't so very big. In fact, I think a TrueHD 5.1 output would be enough, consider the limited size of the room.

Any specific suggestions?

I would try to at least get an htib that includes a real reciever as opposed to the systems that are the built in dvd player with limited connections htib.

i was using a dvd home cinema kit and just replaced the dvd player part with a sony str-dg820 a/v receiver which supports hd audio. im still using my htib speakers now except the sub. i needed a new sub as the sub i had was no good for the sony amp.

Actually, I was thinking about the Onkyo HTX-22HD system:

It's a package that has the subwoofer & receiver in one box, but without a built-in DVD player, with two speakers for 2.1 sound. You can then buy additional boxes to get 5.1 sound.
It has 2 HDMI ins and 1 HDMI out; offers support for HD audio.

Would this be a good starter's set for someone like me (I'm not looking to go all the way to 7.1; for now 5.1 will be enough, as long as the audio & video quality are good and I get HD sound support) :

Remember not every HTIB has a dvd player built in. That Onkyo would be a perfect match it offers all the new codecs and it should be the 606 receiver. Either way it's a great stater system that can be upgraded later also it's within your price range.
