I think Surround Sound is a very important part of next gen gaming.

why isn't there just a simple "no" answer? I don't have it, but I wouldn't mind having a nice surround sound system. I just can't afford it right now, and I'm not actively seeking one. I usually use Headphones anyway.

I am total audiophile, and I had surround sound for my old 13 inch tv. I would rather have 5.1 than an HDTV. I'm waiting until I can afford 7.1. No way would I ever go without surround sound now.

Yes, and it's good stuff! Funny thing is, the first year I tried using it, I didn't know you had to use fiber optic Toslink cables (or HDMI). I was down on Surround till I figured it out, but now that it works, it's great... and gives you an edge in online shooters to boot!

I have 2.1 speakers since most of the time I have to use headphones anyway. And fitting 5.1 or 7.1 speakers to my small room would be a pain.

On paper, yeah, but unless you have a big living room, 5.1 is more than enough to get the job done.

in some games 5.1 really helps, games like Bioshock it helps a lot you can tell if the maniacs are to the left or right or behind you. also if you like games like condemned you will crap your pants, its all about atmosphere if a game requires it you are really missing out if you dont have it.

Oh I have 1000w panasonic

I have a 5.1 system and it does make the games a much better experience I use this when no one is trying to get some sleep in the house because it does kinda get a little loud. When I game and need to stay quite I use a headphone instead.

I personally think sound is more important than vision. Upgraded to a better sound system before going HD.

I've got a 1,000 watt, 5.1 surround setup. I really don't use it unless I'm playing sports games, though. I use my wireless headphones for everything else.

That's the thing that pisses me off the most about my Wii, no DD 5.1. I mean, seriously Nintendo?

Yeah, I got a 5.1 HTIB a few months ago to prepare for GTA4. I vowed I would not play that game with 2ch TV speakers. I love it.

Some games have terrible audio mixing though... Half-Life 2 comes to mind. Halo 3 has amazing 5.1 sound, as does GTA4 and Bioshock.

Yes. But I don't have the space to set them up properly so all of the speakers are in front of me.
