I passed by the Bose 3-2-1 system today. I thought it sounded pretty good for a $150 item...too bad it was priced at $999!
On topic, I say give walmart a hand! Many people don't into this hobby b/c they are afraid of high prices. So if they get started low they can get that hunger that we all experience and begin the path of upgrades! Walmart has been successful b/c it caters to the majority and the majority doesn't love this hobby like we do. But maybe if they get hooked now we will begin to see a shift! And after that everyone will want OAR DVD's! Wishful thinking? Nah...
Happy Holidays,
