I am looking to buy a home theatre setup. I have to buy it at a Game because I have Game gift vouchers. What I want is something inbetween that Sony 6.2 system and a tallboy. My budget is R4000 to R5000. Any recommendations? Or does anyone want to buy R3400 game vouchers from me?

Which Game store in Durban have the biggest collection of home theatre systems?

the Sony is a fairly decent system for the average home... the widest range of home theater systems from all the Mass Mart stores is Dion Wired... there's a branch in Gateway (Durban). and like enigma243 says, check the voucher if it's valid for all Mass Mart Stores. If it is valid, then you can use it at Dion Wired.

but you are gonna need about 6K for a fairly decent 6.2 Sony system...

I'm going to have a look at Dion Wired on Thursday. The Sony 6.2 is a bit too much for my needs. I had a look at the one at Game for R6999. And besides the Amp will not fit into my TV unit. Its one of those low plazma units. The HT system I want is a Samsung 5.1 at Govan Manni for R3999, but I have R3400 in game vouchers.

BTW were is the Sony 6.2 going for 6k?

does Game have the Samsung HT in stock? just a tip, if you see a product at any other store and if any Mass Mart store has the same product at a higher price, they will beat the other stores price and give you a 10% discount off the difference... it's their company policy.... speak to the sales person or manager about it.

Sorry forgot they are ripping everyone off at the moment. I got mine in December '08 for R5499 - back when it was over R10 to the dollar. Should be cheaper now that the rand is stronger! B@stards!

BTW - HiFi Corp has the same policy as Game ... you should play the two off of eachother!

yes, they do... but remember that he's stuck with the Game vouchers, which i'm assuming can be used at all Mass Mart stores.... HiFi Corp is not part of that group of companies.

Also try Makro... they also belong to the Mass Mart group of companies.

how about this: http://www.makro.co.za/ProductDetail.aspx?cat=1181&prod=45946&SKU=000000000000162627|EA

or have a look at - http://www.dionwired.co.za/AUDIO-HOME-THEATRE-SYSTEMS.aspx

Makro doesn't accept the Game gift vouchers. I cannot view the picture of the Sony in your link above.

Thanx AveshR but I don't like tall boy HT systems.

Anyone have a Samsung HT system?

What I really want is a home theatre component system. Does anyone have a Sony HT-DDW5000? Can you please measure the height of the amp? My plazma unit can only fit an amp of 168mm high. If this amp can fit, i will try negotiate at Game to get it down from R6999 to R6000. Makro has it for R6699.

what do you really want? the HT-DDW5000 is the 6.2 which from my understanding you've said is not what you want. And they wont drop the price to R6000 unless you find another store that has it for that price... they (Game) don't do negotiations sadly.

I didn't want to spend more than 5k on a system. After much consideration I am willing to put an extra R3000 on top of the R3400 vouchers I have. BTW my wifes gonna kill me after this. She agreed to R1600 extra.

If the amp fits my plazma unit I might just take it. I have the spare cash at the moment.

I am going to Dion Wired tomorrow, they have a Samsung 7.1 demo unit with a blown subwoofer. It is just the 7 speakers and a 7.1ch amp. No DVD included. If I can get it for R3000 I will take it. I can easily get a decent DVD player for R1000 and get a subwoofer next month.

it's more than 168mm i'm sure... i have the 6.1 sony system and those amps are quite big... i wouldn't recommend keeping the amp in the unit as they do heat quite a bit. :( can't you keep it above your unit or something?
