Just returned from my local Sams Club (zip 62704 in central Illinois) and found the Philips MX5600D home theater system on clearance for $149.81. The previous price was $299.88 and Amazon sells it for $399 (lists for $499). My local Sams Club had 2 new boxes and one display (and now has one less new one!).
This home theater in a box consists of a 600W surround sound receiver with a 5 DVD/CD changer. IMHO, it looks really good. Also included are a full array of surround sound speakers, cables, and a remote. I was originally buying this just for the receiver and was surprised that the speakers were included.
Most of the user reviews on Amazon - http://www.Amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000C1L18/qid=1127758989/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-2483763-8788708?v=glance&s=electronics&n=507846 - are very good. You'll also find more details about the system at this Amazon address.
Other information of note: 1. Samsclub.com still shows this as $299.88 although it also states that prices may vary by store (so YMMV!) 2. Before someone else mentions it, there is a thread on FW about a Gift with Purchase for this sytem. The way I read it, you had to purchase the system from Charter.Philips.com to get the free DVD player. Look for yourself: http://www.charter.Philips.com/IMS_DOCS/BANNER/OAMCHARTER/CharterOrderForm.pdf 3. The SKU on my receipt is 806114
