Crutchfield have a customer appreciation event through to Nov 1 - 5% off plus free shipping. They also have the TX-SR607 on sale at 599.99 and the 5% applies to that as well bringing it to $569.99 BB currently carry this for 729.99, with PM and 10% of the difference that brings it to 553.99 by my calculations.

Crutchfield are also selling the Sony BDPS360 Blu-Ray player for 199.99 less 5% (ie 189.99) with a free 3m HDMI cable thrown in free as well). That looks to be the lowest yet on that disc player.

I've been considering this or the Denon 790.. both seem good.. the only thing that scares me with the onkyo is that supposedly the video conversion for analog vid isn't that good.
