The first two things I'll be getting are the HDTV and the Blu-Ray player, sometime in September when my re-enlistment bonus hits.
TV - Samsung LN46A650 (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LN46A650-46-inch-1080p-120Hz/dp/B001413D94/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1211321464&sr=8-1)
BR Player - Playstation 3
The BR player goes without stating. I'm a gamer, and the standalone players at the same pricepoint lack the PS3's features. As for the TV, I'm not a plasma fan, and LCD finally won me over as opposed to DLP. I'll consider the Samsung 7 series of that same tv, but only if it's within $100 at the time I buy it. The extra features don't justify the pricetag (built-in media capabilities that my PS3 will handle, and a built-in subwoffer).
I'll also be getting the Logitech Harmony One (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Harmony-Advanced-Universal-Remote/dp/B00119T6NQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1211321639&sr=1-1) (with DirectTV HD w/DVR, I need the remote consolidation).
All I'm undecided about is the audio setup. Since I'll be moving into a new apartment BEFORE buying this TV, I'll hold off on the audio until I see how thick the walls are, and what my neighbors can tolerate :)
