RCA???
Analog???
If you only have stereo audio currently, I'd highly recommend going to Wal-Mart and picking up a 1000 watt RCA 5.1 surround system for ~$130. The entire effect of your new big-screen and high-def player (blu-ray or whatever) is lost if you only have a stereo set of speakers....
Monster cables are totally overrated. There is no reason to purchase them over anything you can find at monoprice.
I'd recommend the PS3. For the same price as a regular blu-ray player, you can be playing some of the best video games on earth in true high definition (just wait for FF13 to come out.... it will be one of the first games to use all of the cores and system memory of the PS3, and it's graphics will be out of this world.) Not to mention you could charge admission to your neighborhood kids to play on your PS3 in your living room....
