I just picked up the Vizio sound bar for $99 at Costco. They also offer the bar with a subwoofer for about $175. Sounds great in my living room and no need to run speaker wires across the room for surround sound.
Wait until June, students usually get a free ipod touch and free printer for their back to school deal. I've used this deal twice in 3 years, they should do it again this year.
