Pioneer's releasing a new home-theater-in-a-box with integrated Blu-ray support. The LX01BD has the standard 5.1 setup, though with an attractive gloss black finish. The system has two HDMI inputs, so you can route a video game console and laptop through it at once. The Blu-ray player/audio receiver handles discs with DTS-HD MA and Dobly TrueHD audio, but it seems behind-the-times in not supporting BD-Live discs, with only Profile 1.1 compatibility. There's nothing wrong with a Profile 1.1 player by itself, but considering the LX01BD's price tag of over $3,000, you'd expect a current-gen player. For that money, you at least get a touchscreen LCD remote and 400 watts output.
