Best Buy Wish List: Home Theater, yeah!

cool mom tech / best buy wish list

Best Buy Wish List is a sponsored series in which we feature the
things we’re coveting at Best Buy–and then give away gift cards so you can buy them yourself.  Whee!

With six kids between us, our movie theater is our home television. And really, with all the money we’d spend on a sitter and a jumbo tub of popcorn (practically the same price these days), we’d just as soon ask Santa for a fabulous home theater system this year.

Besides, no one kicks the back of our seats at home.

If you’ve got a household of TV, movie and general entertainment fans like we do, Best Buy really does have an amazing selection all in one place. You’ll find the slimmest internet-ready HDTVs, blu-ray players, the crazy new 3-D TVs, and every thing in between. Plus the Blue Shirts and Geek Squad Agents will make sure you know what you’re doing before they send you off with your fancy new equipment. Amen to that.

Along with our very own popcorn maker, here are the home theater goodies we found at Best Buy that are topping our wish lists this year:

We’ll take one Samsung 55 inch LED/LCD internet-connected holy mac daddy of televisions, please. (And now excuse Kristen as she wipes the drool off her husband’s chin.)

Of course you can’t play regular old DVDs on our brand new fancy TV. But instead of a mere Blu-Ray player (this being a wish list and all) we’d opt for a complete Blu Ray Home Theater System. The Samsung one comes with a subwoofer, 4 speakers, and an iPod dock.

logitech harmony One remote

Of course, having lots of AV goodies means having lots of remote controls. We’d minimize that with the top-of-the-line Logitech Harmony One which can manage up to 15 devices at once. You know, should we have 15 devices. (What? It’s a wish list!)

EXTRA EXTRA COOL: WIN IT! Turn your wish list into a reality, mamas, because we’re giving away two $500 gift cards to Best Buy!
WHOO!

And for all you last-minute shoppers out there (you know who you are) don’t forget about Best Buy’s Santa Sales event through today in-store and tomorrow online (you know, in case you need a little respite while the turkey cooks) so you can still snag great deals on tech gifts this holiday.  

[see details after the jump]



Congratulations to our two lucky winners of a $500 Best Buy gift card: Kellie C. and Melanie D.

Also, follow Best Buy on Twitter and like the Best Buy Facebook fan page for plenty more great deals, events and updates.

The opinions here are solely that of Cool Mom Tech. Maybe a few other people.

    This is about as fancy as I’d need https://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG+-+32%22+Class+/+1080p+/+LCD+HDTV/1199202.p?id=1218231414571&skuId=1199202&st=Shopnow_TV_BD_20101219&cp=1&lp=1 and I’d be so happy to have it so that when my daughter is watching Sesame Street, the words aren’t cut short anymore. I’d also be happy to not have characters cut in half on my shows! Recently our DVD player died and we almost bought this Bluray https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+3D%26%2342/Internet+Connectable/Wi-Fi+Built-In+Blu-ray+Disc+Player/9739925.p?id=1218165051047&skuId=9739925 but then stuck with a cheap DVD player because we couldn’t really afford it since we need to replace our pots and pans that have broken lids.

  6. Karen Chatters on December 24, 2010 at 9:29 am

    We need a new TV. And a TV wall mount. I’m fairly certain that our TV is going to die any minute now.

  9. Johanna on December 24, 2010 at 9:48 am

    I would love to get some wireless bose speakers for my husband he has been lusting them

    sultansmom at gmail dot com

  10. Jennifer G on December 24, 2010 at 9:53 am

    I would love to put that card toward getting a new LED television or maybe a blue ray player or new home theater system…. Oh so much to choose from it’s hard to pick one.

  11. Nora Ribble on December 24, 2010 at 9:57 am

    My husband would die for a samsung HDTV! The 3d ones look amazing took!

  12. Guy Ribble on December 24, 2010 at 10:09 am

    I would spend my $500 gift card on a state of the art Samsung 3D television, eliminating the need for my dinosaur of a television, as well as allowing my 11 month old to watch Discovery channel and their awesome lemurs on trees in 3D. You see, lemurs look a lot better in 3D. Just ask anyone.

  17. kim joyce on December 24, 2010 at 12:48 pm

    I would really LOVE to win this. I would love to get a new laptop as mine died a few months ago.

  20. Diane on December 24, 2010 at 12:53 pm

    Our TV just died and we need a new TV and wall mount. This would be great to win as we are in dire need for it. My 3 year old daughter cannot watch any of the Christmas shows I used to watch or any TV programs, videos, or DVDs, right now. Thank you!

  22. diane rogers on December 24, 2010 at 12:54 pm

    I think it would be neat to get the 3d TV or some awesome Klipsch speakers.

  27. Tracey G. on December 24, 2010 at 1:02 pm

    How fun would a projector be? Outdoor movies in the summer!

  28. Michelle Mavis on December 24, 2010 at 1:03 pm

    I would buy a new BluRay player and use the extra to upgrade all our 200+ DVD’s to go with it.

  33. Melissa on December 24, 2010 at 1:13 pm

    Oooohhh…we could REALLY use a new flat panel TV b/c our old one DIED! I can’t STAND our old one with the big old tubes. YUK! (Oh yeah, and a wall mount would be good, too. SO the kiddies don’t press all the buttons!)

  34. Gina W on December 24, 2010 at 1:17 pm

    OMG I don’t even know what I would do with myself if our family had this: https://tinyurl.com/38qdzoo

    We have two adults, two teen boys and two toddler boys. We ALL could use this in our household!!!

  35. Grenda on December 24, 2010 at 1:17 pm

    I’d love a Blu Ray player and a TiVo for my daughter’s room so I could finally start recording my own shows in my room!

  43. Meghan on December 24, 2010 at 1:52 pm

    I was just thinking to myself the other day how lame I am that I don’t have a radio in my house. I would love to get a home theater system in my home because I have to turn my TV all the way up to hear DVDs for some reason. It’s very annoying!

    Merry Christmas Eve!

  48. Reginald S on December 24, 2010 at 2:09 pm

    I’d start with a blu-ray dvd player and some good movies for the kids like toy Story 3 and How to Train Your dragon.

  51. Bridget on December 24, 2010 at 2:23 pm

    Well, definitely would start of with a new TV, since ours are like 100 years old, ok maybe 20-30, but still. And the home theatre would be a bonus for my 4 boys.:-)

  52. Todd B on December 24, 2010 at 2:25 pm

    Boy do I need a new computer. The one I am on is ten years old!! Honest!! Sure would like to upgrade to a new PC.

  55. Margaret Smith on December 24, 2010 at 2:34 pm

    I would love to get the LG – 42″ Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LCD HDTV
    Model: 42LD520 | SKU: 9791077
    as seen here:https://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG+-+42%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9791077.p?id=1218175545494&skuId=9791077
    and the
    Sony – 3D*/Internet Connectable/Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-ray Disc Player
    Model: BDP-S570 | SKU: 9739925

    What a fantastic prize! This would really make our Christmas…we need a new TV so bad for our family room.

    Thanks so much and Happy Holidays!

    Samsung – 32″ Class / 720p / 60Hz / LCD HDTV

    dchrisg3[at]gmail[dot]com

  80. Chag on December 24, 2010 at 4:24 pm

    We’re the last people on Earth without an HD TV, so we’d probably go for that.

  81. Magda on December 24, 2010 at 4:26 pm

    I would love to get a fancy HD tv. Doesn’t even need to be 3-D!

  82. Mami2jcn on December 24, 2010 at 4:34 pm

    It would be amazing to use the $500 Gift Cards towards this Samsung 3D television-https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+55%22+Class+/+1080p+/+240Hz+/+3D+LCD+HDTV/1153186.p?id=1218226505291&skuId=1153186&st=3d%20television&contract_desc=null

  97. Zakiyyah on December 24, 2010 at 1:14 pm

    I could definitely use a new TV. Right now I’m expecting my first child next month, and am a single mom. I’m living with my mother and staying in a small old fashioned room and can definitely use this LCD TV to liven up the room. Right now I have an old fashion 19′ Tube Magnavox TV and I only get about 15 channels. Thank goodness I for ION television. I think I’ve watched every episode of Criminal Minds and Without a Trace. I can’t even watch cable television because the TV is so old. This would truly be a Holiday blessing for me. Keeping my fingers crossed! ๐Ÿ˜‰

  106. Robert Cooper on December 24, 2010 at 6:51 pm

    Great Giveaway!!

  107. Shani on December 24, 2010 at 6:54 pm

    We finally joined the flat screen era this year, so it would be terrific to have really good speakers, like https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+BRAVIA+3.1-Ch.+Home+Theater+Soundbar+Speaker+System+with+Subwoofer/9904972.p?id=1218192429754&skuId=9904972&st=home%20theater%20speakers&contract_desc=null.

    And then the Harmony remote (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Logitech+-+Harmony+One+-+15+Device+Universal+Remote/8631411.p?id=1194051531629&skuId=8631411&st=harmony&contract_desc=null), because I can barely operate our TV, let alone the DVD player.

  114. Steve P. on December 24, 2010 at 7:40 pm

    We would really love a 55″ led tv for our family room to replace a 32″ tube tv from the stone ages.

  115. marne on December 24, 2010 at 2:40 pm

    we would finally get ourselves out of the 90’s and toss our huge DEEP tv for a nice slim model!

  117. phyllis on December 24, 2010 at 8:01 pm

    I would love to have the blue ray home Theater system.

  121. Pat on December 24, 2010 at 9:00 pm

    At our house we’d really like a new television.

  122. Kathy Scott on December 24, 2010 at 9:02 pm

    My husband has been asking for a blu ray player

  126. Dana Waldman on December 24, 2010 at 4:14 pm

    My Husband has been drooling over a 3D TV and I would love to win this to use this toward buying him one.

  130. Andrea Shelor on December 24, 2010 at 9:54 pm

    That would be nice for those rockin’ after Christmas sales!

  137. Issa on December 24, 2010 at 10:17 pm

    Blue-ray player and home theater system. Hands down.

  143. Charles Opperman on December 24, 2010 at 10:56 pm

    I want a 65″ Pansonic TV.

  146. Vanessa Mayer on December 24, 2010 at 11:04 pm

    I would pick this TV: Panasonic – VIERA 42″ Class / 720p / 600Hz / Plasma HDTV

    Thank-you!

  148. Carmen on December 24, 2010 at 11:09 pm

    iPad. iPad. iPad. ๐Ÿ™‚

  159. lynn brannen on December 25, 2010 at 12:19 am

    We could dump our old tv from the 80`s!

  160. Joanne C on December 25, 2010 at 12:20 am

    I’d get a new TiVo and some speakers! ๐Ÿ™‚

  161. LeAndrew W. Taylor on December 25, 2010 at 12:22 am

  164. Tracey on December 25, 2010 at 12:43 am

  169. Regina m on December 25, 2010 at 1:09 am

    A good set of speakers. That’s a big thing in home theater.

  171. corinneyb on December 25, 2010 at 1:17 am

    I would love the blu-ray hone theater you all mentioned. But probably not as much as my husband.

  185. Eileen Lammers on December 25, 2010 at 10:07 am

    I would love a PS game system and games or a bluray player.

  187. Elissa Ann on December 25, 2010 at 10:15 am

    My wife gave me a new TV for our anniversary and now I would like to have a surround sound speaker system for it. If I could get something to hook her IPOD to it – the room would be complete.

  204. kay wolter on December 25, 2010 at 12:16 pm

    I would give this to My Husband but the one thing He would need to buy is a head set to watch and hear tv and I can hear nothing….smile

  205. Mir on December 25, 2010 at 12:21 pm

  332. Susanne on December 26, 2010 at 1:18 pm

    I’d still love to get the ipad. Honestly.

  337. Rosemary Simm on December 26, 2010 at 1:39 pm

    I would love to have the Blu-ray Home Theater
    System. I don’t know much about electronics and
    I still use my VCR. Help me, please, my family
    says I’m hopeless.

  339. Stacy on December 26, 2010 at 1:40 pm

    I could really use a new tv

  340. Sarah Howard on December 26, 2010 at 1:43 pm

    I would love love to have a stereo/surround sound system for the home theater effect!

  344. michele on December 26, 2010 at 1:51 pm

    This would be so nice after a christmas with no gifts…I would treat the kids. It’s all theirs!

  353. Kat on December 26, 2010 at 2:19 pm

    I need a Blu-ray player!!!!

  354. Rachel on December 26, 2010 at 2:21 pm

    Definetly would have to be a TV, we don’t have one right now, not even a tube TV

  355. lisa on December 26, 2010 at 2:24 pm

    My husband and child are drooling over the Xbox kinect with the kinectanimals for my 5 yr old daughter.

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Microsoft+-+Kinect+for+Xbox+360/1036858.p?id=1218212157998&skuId=1036858&st=kinect xbox&cp=1&lp=5

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Kinectimals+-+Xbox+360/1180061.p?id=1218231019674&skuId=1180061

    and of course, and AWESOME LCD TV to play it on ๐Ÿ˜‰
    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+55%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/1316005.p?id=1218249469829&skuId=1316005

    I’m pregnant and we are having insurance problems, so Christmas was a bit sparse this year. This gift card would really make up for it.

  357. Pamela Simon on December 26, 2010 at 9:31 am

    I’d spend it on this fabulous Blue Ray player!

  361. Anne R on December 26, 2010 at 3:04 pm

    If I am only so lucky to win this Best buy gift card, I would this beauty to our home theater https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+3D/Internet+Connectable/Wi-Fi+Built-In+Blu-ray+Disc+Player/9776828.p?id=1218171590430&skuId=9776828
    And our favorite movies in blu-ray, one would definitely be https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Harry+Potter%3A+Years+1-6+%5B7+Discs+/+Blu-ray%5D+-+Widescreen+AC3+Dolby+-+Blu-ray+Disc/9615317.p?id=2056404&skuId=9615317&st=harry%20potter&lp=14&cp=1
    What can I say? I am a HP geek!

  364. dn6511 on December 26, 2010 at 3:14 pm

    I would spend it on a Blu-Ray player

  365. donna gonzalez on December 26, 2010 at 3:20 pm

    i wasnt able to get my wonderful husband anything for christmas this year- hes a huge electronics guy- so if i win this i would get him a blu ray player that he has been dying for!!

  377. cj on December 26, 2010 at 4:05 pm

    A Wii that I can play games on and play my blu-rays on also

  380. Tanya on December 26, 2010 at 11:26 am

    This would be GREAT for the bedroom would be a FANTASTIC late Christmas gift for me and my new fiance ๐Ÿ™‚

  403. Irene Malanum on December 26, 2010 at 6:00 pm

    Our plasma TV died after getting a good 6 years of use; so, we’ve been TV-free for about 4 months now. That isn’t so bad, especially for the kids, but it was unfortunate that the TV died just about the time we got a new blu-ray player. So, we would definitely get a new TV, preferably an LCD HDTV.

  405. Steve on December 26, 2010 at 6:11 pm

    I would pick up an ereader and some camera accessories.

  416. Michael on December 26, 2010 at 7:15 pm

    I would love to have this since I don’t have a good tv to play my ps3 on.

  418. Brian G on December 26, 2010 at 7:17 pm

    Well, we already have the HDTV taken care of, but I could definitely complement it with some good sounds! Soo.. I think these should cover it;

    Receiver choice, Denon 551W 5.1 Home theater!

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Denon+-+550W+5.1-Ch.+3D+Pass+Through+A/V+Home+Theater+Receiver/9878219.p?id=1218187480810&skuId=9878219&st=Home%20Theater&cp=1&lp=11

    But that does us no good without speakers, so I think these JBL’s will do.

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/JBL+-+6-Piece+Home+Theater+Speaker+Package/8605226.p?id=1192232566708&skuId=8605226&st=Home%20Theater&cp=1&lp=6

    And watching the prices should help me towards my final goal. I can also get about a third of the way towards getting the kids what I really wanted to get them for Xmas.

    I know they’d love this ๐Ÿ™‚

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Microsoft+-+Kinect+for+Xbox+360/1036858.p?id=1218212157998&skuId=1036858

    Here’s hopin! Hope you all have a great holiday!

  424. Michelle on December 26, 2010 at 2:31 pm

    I would get the Sony Bravia 46″ LED. Now that my son got a wii from Santa, this would make game play as well as watching my favorite shows and movies so much better!!

  427. Daniel on December 26, 2010 at 7:45 pm

    Weird, I’m getting errors when I try to post.

    Anyway, I haven’t even jumped into HD yet (I haven’t had a reason to yet – I mostly watch Netflix Instant and that is mostly still SD), so I figure, as I am getting ready to take the plunge anyway, I’ll drop nearly the entire $500 card on the nice 32″ Sony Bravia.

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+BRAVIA+32%22+Class+/+1080p+/+60Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9761129.p?id=1218168619794&skuId=9761129

    Or, since I keep my Xbox in my bedroom, I might just go with a second one in the living room
    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Microsoft+-+Xbox+360+4GB+Console/1162184.p?id=1218228678498&skuId=1162184

    and go with the 32″ Insignia
    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Insignia%26%23153%3B+-+32%22+Class+/+720p+/+60Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/1000762.p?id=1218207308821&skuId=1000762

    Yes, a slight dip in quality, granted, but I have bad eyes anyway, so 720p should be fine for me. Heh.

  429. Diane Baum on December 26, 2010 at 7:54 pm

    I would use it towards a computer

  432. susan smoaks on December 26, 2010 at 8:06 pm

    if i won, i would get surround sound and a new amplifier

  435. Bob on December 26, 2010 at 8:37 pm

    Would be great to pick up a new PS3!

  436. Theron Willis on December 26, 2010 at 8:38 pm

    All i need is a new set of speakers.

  443. Gail Crawford on December 26, 2010 at 9:09 pm

    I would spend it on speakers.

  445. loni on December 26, 2010 at 9:16 pm

    I would like to get the iLive – 3.1-Channel Speaker Bar with Appleยฎ iPhoneยฎ and iPodยฎ Dock

  447. Anna n on December 26, 2010 at 9:20 pm

    We need a blu ray surround sound sys an that samsung one looks pretty good…

  448. Karen Chatters on December 26, 2010 at 9:23 pm

    We need a new TV. Ours is going to die after all the post-holiday sales are over.

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+BRAVIA+46%22+Class+/+1080p+/+120Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9763279.p?id=1218169465735&skuId=9763279

    And then we’d need to mount it>

    https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sanus+-+VisionMount+Tilting+Wall+Mount+for+26%22+-+42%22+Flat-Panel+TVs/6948798.p?id=1099382082032&skuId=6948798&st=wall%20mount&contract_desc=null

    And I’d probably need to hire the geek squad to come and install it all.

  451. Laura M on December 26, 2010 at 9:31 pm

    Surround sound with wireless speakers!!

  452. brian e. on December 26, 2010 at 9:34 pm

    Thanks for the giveaway…we have our eye on a Panasonic – Internet Connectable/Wi-Fi Ready Blu-ray Disc Player (Model: DMP-BD65K): https://goo.gl/Mv8Ef

  454. Michael A on December 26, 2010 at 9:40 pm

    I would love one. Best Buy is one of my favorite stores and I need to get a new tv bad.

  458. Julie Joyce on December 26, 2010 at 9:49 pm

    Where do I begin? Since I have neither a Blu Ray nor a home theater system to go with our new Samsung television, I like the idea of the all in one systems. This particular one has an iPod dock for my old school iPod (which is basically like a juke box to me these days), it’s wifi ready, which means I no longer have to access netflix through my wii and well, of course would really help to complete the movie theater feel we are trying to get in our finished basement living room. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+1330W+7.1-Ch.+Wi-Fi+Built-In+Blu-ray+Home+Theater+System/9762589.p?id=1218168616914&skuId=9762589

  463. Dana on December 26, 2010 at 4:58 pm

    I would get some wireless speakers for the whole house. Right now we are hardwired in with some big sweet speakers like it is 1997.

  464. Carol Strong on December 26, 2010 at 9:58 pm

    I would love to get a TV with internet access so I could keep up with my Facebook account to keep up with friends and family.

  465. OlyveOyl on December 26, 2010 at 9:59 pm

    Sinc our “home theater” consists of a 26 year old tv – I would upgrade to https://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG+-+47%22+Class+/+1080p+/+60Hz+/+LCD+HDTV+-+Glossy+Black/9933082.p?id=1218197361900&skuId=9933082&st=Santas_Countdown_Sale_2010&cp=1&lp=8 and add the https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Blu-ray+Disc+Player+-+Wi-Fi+Ready+Blu-ray+Disc+Player/9776512.p?skuId=9776512&id=1218171589783#tabbed-customerreviews – but then I will need to upgrade my current video systems – so I will keep my current dvd and vhs player – and for the home theater part – https://www.bestbuy.com/site/SONY+-+BRAVIA+850W+5.1-Ch.+3D/Wi-Fi+ready+Blu-ray+Home+Theater+System/1443404.p?id=1218268572832&skuId=1443404&st=home theaters&contract_desc=null (but since it mentions the word of blue ray, maybe I don’t need a separate blue ray player) – not sure, but willing to find out!

  474. Beth on December 26, 2010 at 10:28 pm

    Hmmm. We really need the surround sound speaker set up so we can really imitate the theatre experience. Since I’m not likely to ever set foot in a theatre again, it seems like the best way to go.

  475. Kristen W. on December 26, 2010 at 10:34 pm

    Hmm, either and Ipad for me or a new TV for the fam ๐Ÿ™‚

  485. dragonstar on December 26, 2010 at 10:53 pm

    sorry for the double post, last page didnt load and i hit reload xD. wooops

  490. Lauralee Hensley on December 26, 2010 at 11:06 pm

    I’d get a surround sound speaker bar and a Roku.

    I would love a new lcd tv for the bedroom. We still are using my husbands tv from college 10 years ago.

  532. Christi on December 26, 2010 at 9:21 pm

    We would love a TV for our bedroom! A way to escape from the kids and Dora The Explorer!!!!

  534. Zmama on December 27, 2010 at 2:24 am

    I want an iPad!

  543. Kate on December 26, 2010 at 10:10 pm

    This projector would be awesome in our basement once we finish it.

  545. Jason P on December 27, 2010 at 12:41 am

    HI’ve always wanted a projector in my living room.

  546. Justin on December 27, 2010 at 12:54 am

    I would so get this XBOX 360 with Kinect and use the kinect to stay fit and get into shape!
