But for those of us that have invested the time and money into 5 to 7 good speakers and 2 really big ones that aim at the floor....the fact that MS put so much effort into the surround sound experience is not something we're about to complain about.
They did some good things with the surround on the XBOX, when everyone through real-time 5.1 was impossible, or at least close enough to impossible for a $299 gmae console.....I can't wait to hear what they can do now.
This sort of sucks for people that haven't made the jump to HD just yet, but...as much as I hate to say it, the XBOX 360 wasn't designed with you in mind. Microsoft and Sony have both announced long ago that the new consoles are designed to really take advantage of the best of the best in home entertainment equipment currently on the market.
Their new consoles will still WORK with your stuff if you don't have HDTV and 5.1, but they didn't really consider you prime target number one during the development cycle.
