Official Personal PS3 Picture and Setup Thread

[badz_ps3]

This thread is dedicated to the posting of your PS3 and the rest of your Home Theater equipment. It will hold to the same concept as its predecessor.

UPDATE - 07/06/2011

Just stumbled back onto the thread and noticed my reveal tags were broken as well as a bunch of the links are now broken. With that I figured I would just cut out all the mess from the OP and just leave it with the basics. It's cool to see you guys have kept this thread alive so long . Hope it keeps going strong!

I have a Denon, does that mean your talking to me??

TBH I have seen much higher quality systems overall with this new thread (err well including before it magically was deleted). I'm sure it has to do with the amount the forum has grown but regardless of why, its nice to see

I'll be honest I don't think I'll have the time to add any of the new setups to the OP till maybe next week. It's the last week of classes before my spring break so I'm a busy little dude right now. I actually should be studying for a test I have tomorrow but I'm procrastinating at the moment


EDIT:

If you can give any comments/suggestions on the set-up, greatly appriciated!!

Nice stuff dude. I would make one recommendation from what I can see (or two depending on how you look at it). Move All of your front speakers including the center down to ear level and those speakers you have on the tables need to be placed about mid-way throughout the room.

Here's a generic picture i google'd real quick depicting the generic 7.1 setup

I'm not even 100% sure what that it is, but it's dead f'ing sexy. I've got wood...

That receiver is a monster! If I only had $2000+ to spend on a receiver

We all do my friend...we all do. For now I gotta stick with my Yamaha RX-V663 that should be ordered later this week.

[badz_ps3]

yea, so apparently we had some troubles and the other thread got deleted . Please if you are not already in the OP feel free to repost your pictures and list of equipment!

[REFLEX]

Yeah... still trying to figure that one out... ugh. At least we have the old template huh?

[AMG44]

This will give me a chance to take a better pic. Ill have it up later on this weekend

[sweetvar26]

Its weird to re-write the stuff i wrote in my old post. But i'll just go through it again.

I am jealous of the guys who are enjoying DTS-HD-MA & Dobly True HD tracks like reflex and other. I am missing out on it.

Being an Engineering 2nd year student this is the best i can afford. Been a tech freak since i was a kid an its been a good run so far.

Cant wait to finish school and get a full-time job and get more gadgets !







All the equipment is in my sig. The only changes that are made since i took the pictures is i bought a lot more Blu-ray's during the Christmas break.

I almost pulled the trigger on the Onkyo-SR 805 and pulled out in the last second thinking i wont be using its full capabilities with my current Audio gear. Oh well, couple more years and i'll be done school !

[Astrals_Fire]

Hello there mate. Can you tell me how you illuminate the back of your TV or is it just the back of your TV? IT looks brilliant! I saw another chap on this forum but his illuminated was massive! Could you teach me how to do it? I've got a samsung 6 series btw.

well some TV's have an ambient light feature built into them....now if this is not the case most guys do like little strips of LED lights....they sell them all over the place...you just need a power source and you stick them to the back of the TV...

Even though it is not on in my pics, I use an Ideal-lume. I have it connected to my receiver's input so it comes on when I turn the receiver on.

If you get the multicolored one, you can change the color
