 Lost amidst many of its larger announcements (like its 150-inch plasma), Panasonic debuted its Home Theater in a Box (HTiB) at CES. The SC-BT100 includes an integrated Blu-ray player -- even more apropos after Warner Bros' pre-show announcement it was siding with the Blu-ray camp. The SC-Bt100 can even be upgraded to wireless 7.1 channel sound with the purchase of two extra side speakers and a transceiver. Release: May 2008. Price: $1000.
