Surround Sound - Woes, Confusion, and Advice

In lieu of building a new room for watching TV and playing video games, I have purchased a new HDTV (upgrading from a 17+ year old CRT!) and upgraded to a XBox 360 Elite. The last big purchase I was looking into is hopefully going to be a surround sound system, but I'm in need of a few pointers. I'm looking for either a 2.1 or, if it's not too expensive, a 5.1 system that can accommodate a HDMI connected 360, a Wii using component cables, analog cable (no digital right now), and a BluRay player (to future-proof).
Basically, what kind of HTIB/receiver am I looking for and is it going to cost me an arm, leg, and possibly a liver?

Good speakers can last generations, so those should be viewed as a major investment (or not, your call and all). A receiver will also last as long as the technology it supports is used, so future proofing to a point is important.
