any advice on home theatre?

so i am reading a lot online but a lot of sites have buying guides/info that is not update. curious if anyone has experience in this area.
i want to get a receiver with hdmi switching since i will have a ps3 and hd dvr on the same tv. the 360 will connect via component cables.
anyone have any advice or know of good sites?
i will continue to look myself of course
not looking to spend a lot, definitely not more than $600 total on everything
thanks!

All of these AV receivers from Crutchfield[=http//www.crutchfield.com/S-rYXZhlEmdMw/cgi-bin/prodgroup.asp?cm_re_o=kwufEzM%2Al5TviSii%2A5TviSni&g=10420&nvpair=AG%5FGeneral%5FFeatures%7CFFHDMI%5FSwitching]these AV receivers from Crutchfield offer HDMI switching. Not all do upconversion, however -- only the more expensive receivers do upconversion.

Of the lower-end, budget lines, I'd probably recommend Onkyo over Sony. The higher-end Sony ES line is quite nice, but if I'm paying that much more then I'd probably rather have a Yamaha, Denon, or H/K. I'm partial to Yamaha myself -- I love my RX-V2600.

thanks, know of any all in ones that are a good deal / bang for buck?
