Dude, surround sound is AMAZING. I say only get it if your gona use it, alot. Those bitches are EXPENSIVE though.

My friend had surround with some BOOMin bass. In video games you could hear someone walk up on you from the left side. You'd just tell. And watchin 'Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy' while trippin on shrooms was the most amazing experiance EVER. Thanks to surround. And bass. And the HDTV.

Get one, but as said use it if your gona buy it. Video games/DVD hub/nice TV or somthin.
