I almost got the soundbar since the pricing is attractive (S$599) but you get a 3.1 virtual surround sound that comes with a woofer and the soundbar itself. As for HTS3300, you will get 5.1 system with a A/V receiver, 4 Satellite speakers and a woofer. But it cost around $959, and of course the sound will be better. But seeing the price is kinda making me to think twice. I decided to go for the soundbar then.
So i waited and since i didn't saw Sony CT150 anywhere (only demo set at shops) other than the local website. Most of the shops are promoting CT350 instead and it cost around 900+. Until one day i saw this promo on the papers, HTS3300 bundled with a blu-ray player selling at S$959 which is the cost of the system itself. So i went to enquire about this promotion on whether it can de-bundled from the package, since i can use the PS3 as a blu ray player. Fortunately, the player can be excluded and the price can be offset too. So the final price is lower than the retail price which is great since there is a reasonable discount.
So i bought the system and hope to maximise the potential of this entry level sound system (compared in Onkyo products lineup). I didn't took a video since it is quite a big package for the unboxing. Might post some feedback on the system after i had played with for some time. Below is some pics i took after the unboxing.
