... I plan to watch movies, TV, games, and music. What service should I get: fios or cable? Which TV and receiver should I get? Should I get blu-ray or HD DVD? Should I get PS3 or XBOX 360? Should I just get the WII? I have already decided on the speakers. I’m gonna get Klipsch speakers, not as a package though. I’m gonna get separate spekers, ... I'll post more questions if i think of more.
I'm not an expert ... I'm still learning here ... but this are my opinions:
FIOS or Cable ... If I were you, I compare what they offer in the package, I'm sure each one hastheir own advantages and disadvantages; in my case I have Dishnetwork and a separate DSL/Phone.

TV and Receiver ... this is a personal decision, there is a lot to choose from (plasma, LCD, projector, DLP, etc.); same with receivers (5.1, 7.1, HDMI conections, etc.) you're only limited by your budget. You have to consider the room size when choosing a TV, there is a recommended viewing distance according to the screen size (example: I have a 67", viewing distance is at least 8' from TV).

Blue Ray or HD DVD ... I'm one of those who are waiting for the right moment to get one; I know that you can get one from $250.00 up. I read in some post that PS3 and XBOX 360 can be used as a DVD player; so you can get either one (XBOX - Blue Ray or PS3 - HD) and get a player to complement; in that case you will have the equipment to play Blue Ray and HD.

If you choose speakers not in a package, be sure that they can work together ... I remember somebody mentioned that they need to have the same sensitivity??? ... (experts, please help!!) .... There is a lot of packages you can get (receiver and speakers) ... you can also check here at the Shack Shopping Mall

Good Luck ... hopefully I didn't make you
