You might want to consider starting with this TV. We talk a lot here about LCD versus Plasma and I feel this is a superior display (a great display...better for TV, movies and games) for $1000 less to start with (only 2" smaller).

I see that Future shop combines the Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers sytem with a Pioneer 918 receiver for only $700. This Pioneer VSX-918V-K (which they sell separately for $371) model doesn't have the Dolby True HD. Maybe you can get them to substitute a better receiver for the increase in price of the receiver such as the Denon AVR-789 which they sell for $600 and is $229 more than they sell the Pioneer. That would make the combo $929. Or the Pioneer VSX-1018TXV-K for $229 more or the Yamaha HTR-6160 for $266 more. All three of these are a good choices.

See what kind of package deal they can make with the PS3 and you should have a nice systyem. Just some food for thought.
