sony ht-ss380
cons:
*has a blu ray player that i won't need(have a ps3)
*i read some review saying that it sounds cheap
pros:
*looks good
*works well with my bravia and ps3.
*amazon reviews give it overall 3.5/5

onkyo ht-s3400
cons:
*don't like the design
*doesn't work as smooth as bravia-sync products
pros:
*heard its a good brand
*heard its worth the money
*amazon reviews give it overall 4.5/5


if the sony isn't the best option, do you know another system that sony sells that's better and under $350?
i'm torn between both. i want the sony because i have a ps3 and a bravia tv and i'd love for everything to just ''''''work'''''' together. i have heard, however, that onkyo is a good brand. if you guys could help me, it would mean a lot.

also if you could tell me how i'd have to hook it up to 1 hdtv and 1 ps3, that'd be great too. thanks so much.

also, what do you guys think of headsets that supposedly give you 7.1/5.1 surround sound. i've seen one that costs ~$300(astros a40). are headsets any good or are systems much better?

onkyo system is better. you just connect hdmi from ps3 to receiver then another hdmi from receiver to tv for video.

the sony system is a home theater in a box, which does not offer you any inputs for adding anything to it. it is designed for you to watch a movie with surround sound. you are not going to be able to connect the tv or your ps3 to the system. the onkyo is a much better system, it is a 5.1 receiver and a set of speakers in which you can connect you ps3 and tv to the system for surround sound. go online to home theater magazine and read the reviews on receivers, you are not going to see any sony receiver or home theater being recommended. the onkyo and pioneer are the top entry receivers in the market. hope this will help you out.
