Questions regarding Philips 5550

I saw demo of Philips HTS5550 yesterday

I am pretty impressed with sound quality and cinematic effect. I really want to buy it but I am not sure if it will be able to support audio (Digital/Dolby) from WD Live and PS2. In future I am planning to buy a XBOX also.

I checked the docs and only way it can take audio is :

DIGITAL IN-COAXIAL
Connects to the coaxial audio output on
the TV or a digital device.

Will that help in getting a good audio experience when I am playing games and watching movies/audio from WD Live?

Is there any other HTB i should be looking at?

I think the answer is Audio Receiver which can take HDMI as input. I could not find any HTIB with HDMI input.

WD Live has only Optical out.
