We want you to send in photos of your janky home theater setup (accompanying video is fine too), and maybe a word or two about what kind of crappy equipment you're still using, and why you think it's time for an upgrade. (Please try to keep it brief.) We'll select the home theater most in need of the Engadget touch, and then hook you up with the following gear:
- You pick: Pioneer Kuro PDP-4280HD 42-inch 8th gen plasma OR Sharp LC-46D62U 46-inch 1080p LCD and...
- TiVo HD
- Xbox 360 Elite + HD DVD player
- Sony PS3 (60GB)
- Logitech Harmony 550 universal remote
- Onkyo TX-SR805 receiver
- Onkyo SKS-HT740 7.1 speaker system
- Slingbox Pro (with HD adapter)
- ... and some cables to hook stuff up with

$5k worth of gear? very nice to get sponsors.
if you want to do one of these for people on a budget, i'd love to have a budget shootout. i'd bet you that i could build a better system for half that price. a little bit of woot, some bhphoto.com open boxes, a little froogle magic, some monoprice cables. I can blow that away. :)
consider the gauntlet thrown down. I'm in NY if you want to try it.
But if you don't want to try this, please do enter me in the contest- i'd love to see what the fat cats spend their money on

This would be great to have a home theater. Since I have never have one in my life. If I won I would put the theater to good use.
Really, it's nasty to bait people into reading about the gear, and not mentioning anywhere (except in the full rules) it's only for USA residents.
Well, think about it you also have a big worldwide audience. Be nice to them.
ONE WORD!!! COOL
After trying to still survive after huricanes,, all the hard work my husband has done and still has to,, I'd really appreciate it , more for him than I.

My wife will thank you for this. It's not like we have a TV or anything. But, it would come in handy.
You guys rock. :>
where do you summit or photo to enter
I am in the USA, please count me in!
This reply is an amendment to my other post in this thread.
I forgot to mention; Engadget, I read you site a lot and dream about all the cool gear, but I do not have a home theater, working TV, or stereo but I have always dreamed owning one. All that I own is a car and a computer.
who or where do you summit your photo to, to enter the contest.
count me in!
Man, do I want this. Im speechless.
