YAMAHA'S AV63 Is probably the best sounding system you can get for just £200.

Try this. Has fairly decent reviews and upscales your dvds.

Just get a separate DVD player and hook it up to the system, then if one component goes belly up in the future you won't have to replace the whole system again.

I wouldn't go for all in one. you can attach various separates to the system so you can upgrade/ expand in future. a Bluray Player for example.

Buying all -in one does save space but parts are compromised to fit into the small box and they are not very customisable. If anything breaks you have to replace the entire system and as technology moved on you have no room to expand.
