Apathy and Other Small Victories, by Paul Neilan

Wicked, by Gregory Maguire

[1] X-Arcade joystick, for retro goodness.

30PW8402/37B

Online Price: $387.99

Special Price: $335.00

30" screen size

35"x23.5"x21.5"

1080i/480p

Audio out

Basically every type of input in the back: HDMI, component, S-Video, composite, and RF.

Side has some video input, headphone output.

The above set seems to be sold out.  But this is not all a bad thing.  I'm thinking it was put into closeout to make way for putting the very similar successor model there.  Essentially it seems like the same set but with fewer mixed reviews and complaints to be found online, which seems like a Good Thing.

30PW8420/37B

Online Price: $387.99

30" screen size

33.8"x21.7"x21.1" (so actually a little smaller than the other set... 88%-ish the volume)

1080i/480p

Audio out

Again, basically every type of input.

Again, side has some video input, headphone output.

Pioneer HTP2800

~$200

Dolby Digital 5.1/DTS 5.1/ProLogic IIx Home Theater System

Headphone output also

Since people other than me randomly end up here: Ended up going with an Onkyo S580 (or something like that) instead.  Similar features, but it seems Onkyo's reputation is quite nice among the cheapo receiver+speakers sets, so since I found one for a few dozen bucks less that didn't seem to be missing any of the features I was concerned about, I went with it.
