video game system w/ surround?

We have all three, XBOX kicks it. I set the little killers up with a 5.1 (RM 6000, but hey) rig w/ a 32" WS tube, and it's really cool. But you've got to get the right cables to enjoy it:D

you gotta tell me where you're gettin' all this stuff; I'm lookin' to build a computer, but I can't do that AND get some speakers. Maybe at the prices it seems you're findin' this stuff I could.

I always check out my local Fry's and then these websites:

www.pricewatch.com
www.ableshoppers.com

Thanks. I usually don't (in fact, never) order something online, but these prices are SOOO much better, I just might have to. Thanks for the resources.

Can you order from Fry's online?? It seems that they have good deals, but I don't have one around here. What's their website??

I am kind of thinking you are being sarcastic, but maybe you are not.

Now you find sarcasm!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
Your comment was WAY OUT OF LINE to me. I was just joking. Ford vs Chevy. It is people like you that are making this a negative forum and why I am not around much anymore. Think before you type.
Misunderstanding my comment on a subject "serious subject" such as VG systems and your never heard of a Dreamcast............... Maybe Saturn............ Killing me!!!!!

Gmorris: thanks for making this forum a better place...:rolleyes:

if you are ordering online from smaller retailers *ALWAYS* check their ratings first. There are ALOT of shady businesses out there and you don't want to get into a bad situation.

You can order some of "Fry's" stuff from Fry's/Outpost but the prices are usually not as good as the sales flyer deals at a Fry's brick and mortar location. If you have the ad from a specific store you can call and ask for a mail order, seems like it is a hit and miss thing. Sometimes the person will let you order over the phone, sometimes they won't.

I personally hate XBox-of-****. What good are graphics when 80% of the games suck.

Well I am one of the few people that have all 3 systems. I would go with XBOX hands down if I was forced to get rid of 2.

#1 reason why.....Xbox Live. Nothing compares to it. Virtually no lag, very seldom "lost" games. And there are a lot of titles for it for every type of gamer. Plus if you are a sports gaming fan be aware that EA sport titles WILL be live compatible this fall.

XBox titles to think of:

Rainbow Six 3. Number one XBox Live title out there. This game is played more than any other title out there right now. Great shoot em' up game on Live. Play as a team, or go one on one, to one on 16 with virtually anyone around the world. Statistics are recorded for every type of game play on Live.

Project Gotham Racing 2. Great racing game, not near Gran Turismo, but with about 40 different track, and 200+hour of radio music, plus the option of adding your own music is good enough for me. About the second most played XBox live title right now.

Links 2004. Excellent golf game. 8 different coarses, and you can play your own music on this too. Xbox live. Great playing in quick mode, you can literally play 18 holes in 10 minutes. Play stroke, or skins. Statistics are recorded, and lots of online leagues to join.

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. Excellent single player game, on Live I am frustrated as heck with it, but a lot of people seem to love it on Live. Six different environments, plus 4 different game modes gives you variety when playing on Live.

Red Dead Revolver. See my review of it under Polk's Movie and Music section. One of the best titles to come out so far this year. Will be a silent hit, and is a gaming hit so far with the Cowboy genre fans.

Halo 2. Wow this game is going to be incredible....IF it can live up to the hype. Online multi-player will be insane. Release date of September.

Star Wars:Republic Commando. Due out in August. Think Rainbow Six 3 with Storm Troopers. Its live compatible, and will be a huge hit for squad based players.

Shellshock Nam '67. Release June 1. Well this will be one of the most contriversial games of the summer. One of the most graphic titles to hit the shelves since GTA. Rumor has it that you will be shooting VC women during your campaign. Another Live enabled game.

Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow. Release date of August. Looks to improve on the RBS3 software. How they can make it better is beyond me, but I am game for buying it.

Full Spectrum Warrior, Release date of June 8th. This game was made for the army, and is now going to be released on XBox. Basically you control two squads in a urban warfare environment. Each team has four soldiers. On XBox live you play with a friend, and one person controls Alpha team, while the other controls bravo team. A lot of hype surrounding this title.

gmorris - take a shot at this guy. Tell him he is an insane hi-jacking ****.
70% of games are made for both systems - your systems are only as good as the games. Thier is a reason PS2 has sold ten times as many systems as XBOX. Maybe Donald Trump will create a gaming system.:rolleyes:
