Guys,

Went to Comet today and saw a 360 running with Project Gotham on a 5.1 surround sound setup.

Looking for something similar for playing games plus also watching films.

The 360 has a Toslink adapter...no idea what this is.

Anyway what setups do you guys have ? (not just for the 360, for your dvd etc systems !)

Cheers,

The 'toslink' adapter is a optical lead. It will go between the 360 and your choice of surround equipment.
You have 2 choices from here, either the separates route or the 'all in one' systems.

Generally the separates are better in terms of:
Connections (loads...)
Power (they typically have significantly more than all in one systems. All in one systems are normally measured in a power called PMPO, where as separates are watts per channel/RMS. I often find all in one systems to run out of steam well before its at my desired level) With more power comes better sound quality. I can go into this is you wish
General sound quality
Features (loads on separates)
Upgrades, if desired you can upgrade any aspect of you set-up, as and when you want-where as, all in one systems are 1 box units.

The down side is that separates will cost you more in the long run, as you need a amp, speakers and leads.

What do you want from it? Is it a big room? Are you wanting to play it loud? Do you have anything else, sky? Freeview? PS2?.........


Seperate systems around

I have a bose life style system and i have to say i'm very pleased with it.
Nice discreet speakers, big sound with good clarity. Does both my surround sound and my stero, with a 6 disc player...
I'm sure purists would find fault, but i would definelt look at another if i ever consider renewing!

All you need Gareth is Richer Sounds in Norwich mate.
Sell quality gear at low prices and can talk you through what you need.
Seperates is the only way to go IMO.

If you have 100k+ to spend I suppose I could help you out !!!
