How is this any better than Sony's latest- the HT-CT100, weighing in at $299 or less? Depending on specs I guess maybe Vizio can come out ahead, but against a proven audio company and premium-image brand like Sony, they will be hard-pressed unless they drop their price below Sony.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Plus the Sony gets stellar reviews...

plus it's kinda uggs imo

If they use the same Vizio TV speakers it will suck. It can't do Dolby Digital decode and will *attempt* to create surround sound from 4 speakers and a bit of phase shifting. Poor consumers will think they have a real sound system, but won't know better.
