Summary: Great System...but not for everyone
Comment: For some reason, folks speak about the 321 with great disdain. The fact is that this system is great, just not for everyone.
The best piece of advice I can give before buying this system is going to your local Bose store and getting some advice on placement. I actually talked to one of their install techs and he told me that the 321 is really only designed to provide good surround performance for a small room, such as a den or office. Our setup is exactly this (~11x13), and I love how it works there. True, I don't get "true" surround, but in small rooms, you don't have room for much more and 5 speakers is going to be overkill anyways. I recently hooked up my Blu-ray (Sony BDP-S350) to the system and the sound is phenomenal.
With regards to the "format unsupported" comments, I have only found that this happens when the DVD's or CD's are from "questionable" sources (you know what these are). In my experience I have found that the system has no problems with 95% of home-burned CD's and DVD's.
In summary, ignore the reviews and do some research on your own. If you need a surround system for a small room, you can't go wrong. If you need perfect surround sound, go elsewhere. Personally, I would recommend talking to

Summary: unsupported format
Comment: bought a year ago and was fine then started locking up during store bought DVDs. The open DVD tray and close for 10 min just to get it to work again. been an avid bose follower till this now will only by speakers from them. AT $900 you would think it would last. save money and by SONY...

Summary: Bose Corp Ought to be Ashamed!!!
Comment: As we all know, Bose products are expensive. I will pay the extra amount because I want the best possible sound within a price range which is not exorbitant.
Bose products which I have purchased are the following: a wave radio with the CD feature. two sets of headphones. and a surround sound system. Furthermore, the Bose system in the car I purchased was very instrumental in that purchase. In other words, I have been a loyal and satisfied Bose customer.
When I moved into a condo, I wanted a surround sound system that was compact yet provided an in-theater sound. Without hesitation, I visited the Bose website and read about the 321 GS Series. It met my needs perfectly, and it was a Bose product. I thought I was set. Wrong!!
I have owned this system for a little over a year now, and it has been relegated to a sound sytem for my other CD and DVD players. Nearly all the CD's and DVD's that I try to play on it, will not play. If you buy one get used to seeing "Format Not Supported" across the screen. (I hope this does not become Bose's new motto) Also, the sound system will go bad from time to time, and must be disconnected and reconnected to get it to perform properly.
This is not a Bose product which I would recommend. It is terrible. If I had to do it over again I would definitely go in a different direction.
Bose has great products, but this "ain't" one of them.

Bose 321 GS Series II DVD Home Entertainment System is a newly redesigned, sleek media center that includes a DVD/CD player, AM/FM tuner and inputs for three additional sources. The 3·2·1 GS Series II system now has even greater ease of use and setup. The 3·2·1 GS Series II system is for customers who want the benefit of home theater sound but would prefer the simplicity of two visible speakers, a hideaway Acoustimass module and fewer wires so they don't need to run wires to the back of their room. Media center plays - DVD video (including progressive scan formats), AM/FM, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, digital 5.1, and MP3 files on CD AM/FM radio includes 20 presets, scan and seek Three audio inputs with both analog and digital coaxial jacks, and one optical digital audio input, provide greater setup flexibility Dimensions - media center, 3 1/6H x 13 3/4W x 9 9/10D (8.02 x 34.93 x 25.27 cm); speaker arrays, 2 1/2H x 5 1/2W x 4 1/8D (6.4 x 14.15 x 10.52 cm); module, 14 1/2H x 8 3/4W x 19 1/8D (36.7 x 22.2 x 48.5 cm) Weight in carton - 44 lbs (20 kg) Bose One-year transferable limited warranty Graphite Gray Finish
