    Hey,

    I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

    I'm looking for a surround sound system that has HDMI inputs so I can use it with PS3 and XBOX 360.
    The only info I can really find on these systems are years old and just keep pointing me to sold out items and dead links.
    My budget would be about €200 - 250.

    Thanks for the help!

    You have to understand that your budget is SERIOUSLY restricting you in what you can buy.

    Here is the cheapest I can find.

    Speakers from Richersounds

    AV Receiver From Richersounds

    Richersounds have their own forum on Boards so id recommned you go over there and ask their advice. HERE is the link to their forum.

    Again i dont know exactly how much stuff you are connecting but i would very much recommend an Amp and Speaker package! All In One Systems dont really have multi HDMI inputs unless your spending alot more than 250

    Hogzy is right try and avoid those complete systems and go for a avr and speaker system.Lager amount of inputs and provide you with a better sound. Unfortunately your budget does restrict you some what, but do try the guys at richersounds and see what kind of system they can provide for your budget.

    By virtue of the fact that you need HDMI in, your receiver has to be able to decode uncompressed 5.1 PCM.
    I really don't think the price will drop below €500 for such a system that gves a reasonable output. And that does not include speakers.

    Yamaha 765 will.

    (but then you will need speakers)

    Hodgy and carrols are correct you are asking a lot at this budget the only unit that comes to mind with hdmi inputs etc is a 2.1 unit by Audio Pro called DVD-1 check it out on audiopro.com I think its about €1100.00 but could be wrong . try an audio proo stockist you might get an ex demo unit?

    Hi probably too late but this system while not having a HDMI input (it has an output though) it does have a optical cable (TOS link?) input which I find works great with my PS3 and Sky+ box.

    I picked up one of these systems in PC world Airside in Swords for €180 and I couldn't fault it, first time I played Modern warfare thru it me and my neighbours went WOW ok maybe my neighbours didn't.

    I bought a €6.99 optical cable in powercity so don't go wasting your money on the expensive ones.
