Question by GW: Are surround sound systems really worth the price?
I have a PS3, a standard-def Tivo, and a Comcast cable box with HD channels. I work at an electronics store, and can get a Yamaha 600 watt, 5.1 channel system (YHT-391BL) for $ 260 with my discount. Many of my coworkers say that surround sound is a lot better, and I want some outside opinions before I commit. Also, does anyone have feedback about the home theater system I mentioned? Thanks.

surround sound is great if you like to really get into the big action movies or nature shows, or sports. it’ll be really cool with the video games too. i can’t speak on that particular system you want but i do know that yamaha has always made great electronics. usually far out of my price range.
when my tv used to work i rarely turned on the surround sound and i’m not much of a gamer but i always crank it up to watch movies. star wars, lord of the rings, even old westerns are so much better when you have the sound to back them up. i don’t even have a sub-woofer and it’s still great.
i think you’ll be happy with the surround sound system.
