Sony Home Theater Systems are not better or worse than other brands. It's up to the individual to decide; however, Sony has a long history of making electronics, and thus have years of experience in quality.
You can find a good home theater system by asking a specialist or a friend that already owns one. For some people, buying a "mock" surround sound system is good enough.
The short answer is Yes, Best Buy does sell Home Blue Ray Theater Systems. One of the most popular is the Panasonic 1000W 5.1-Ch. Blu-ray Home Theater System. Other brands include: Denon, Sony, Samsumg, Philips.
Both are good but sony is the best if we compare the two because the configuration, design, services, features, etc. of sony is better and attractive then phillips.
the Samsung HT-D550 is a good cheap system.
Sony makes a wide assortment of TV's, home theater and music systems. Some good alternatives are Bose, Toshiba as well as its main competitor LG which competes directly with their televisions.
No televisions are currently as good as the movie theater 3D systems because their resolution is limited to 1080 lines. Theater systems operate at higher resolutions. However, Samsung does operate at 1080 lines in 3D modem as do Sony and Panasonic. LG use a passive system that limits the resolution to just 540 lines to each eye. Although LG refer to their 3D system as "Cinema 3D", it is a long way from cinema quality.
