With D5ks you could also get an HD621, cheaper than an MC200, and have the PS3 feed it through HDMI. (I'm not up on the different versions of PS3, but I guess they can all do that?)

Then you'd get lossless stereo from BD, something good from DVD depending on what's on the disc, and apodizing from CD.

I am not sure how this would stack up against an MC200, but it's certainly a possible configuration, and if BD is important to you it might be interesting.

(PS I'm pretty sure this will work without a processor of any sort, because the speakers can be controller, but perhaps someone can confirm that detail?)
