I just hooked my ps2 up to a sony surround sound system (cost around $500, That sounds like a lot but believe me it\'s worth it) Anyways the sound is breathtaking it\'s like your playing a totally different game when u get the speakers hooked up. If your like me your gonna spend hours and hours in front of your ps2, and those hours are a feast for your eyes but why don\'t you let your ears have a little fun too> Trust me save up your $$$$$$ and buy a surround sound system, You won\'t be dissappointed!.

I don\'t think I ever really realized just how annoying all caps looks..

Yes it sounds good. I just hope that one day we\'ll have digital audio with PS2 games. For those of you who are just getting into DVD and have a dolby digital setup. You have to get or rent the IMAX movie called Super Speedway. Just imagine Gran Tourismo with this type of Surround. By far one of the best movies to feel enveloped by the sound with.

I saw that movie at Six Flags Great America on their giant IMAX screen. It is amazing on the IMAX screen.

Also, there aren\'t any DD games for PS2 yet are there? I\'ve only seen games that have Pro Logic.

I have friends over now watching Gladiator via the PS2 using DTS thru the reciever and my house was just shaking for the opening battle :cool:

How does Madden sound on Surround Sound? And do you have to get monster cables or Sumthin\'?

It\'s great what the PS2 could potentially do for DVDs. I bought a Laser disc player back in 93 and have never rented a VHS since. The quality of the DVD is only marginally better than laserdisc, but with anamorphic discs it is way better. Laser never really allowed that, at least not that I have seen. I digress. Hopefully prices will come down a bit with DVDs since so many people are getting dvd players now. I have bought all of my discs over the internet and average a little over 8 bucks a disc. It\'s getting harder to find deals now though.

My neighbors always know what movie I am watching. Although I usually turn it down a bit for porn. They have kids.....

You don\'t HAVE to use Monster Cables, they are just made better and are supposed to sound and look better.

D00de, you don\'t have to brag about that your system costed 500$, because that is v e r y little.
Just my reciever costed me about 500$. Sub? Of course. 300$. Speakers? Yes. 750$ Center? Always. 150$

EEEKKKSS!! That makes 1700$. Damn... Well, I didn\'t buy everything at the same time

.

And then we haven\'t talked about the tv... Jeeeeeessus Ch...

But yeah, it makes a difference.

Let\'s not get into the cost of systems please. Hell, my remote costs as much as your system did..

« **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2001, 01:05:15 PM »

Yeah, sorry, that was really immature...
But I worked my @$$ of this hole summer, and I spent the weekends to deliever junk-mail all over my town, so I am really glad over my system, and I think it is really great!
It\'s my first system, and I am just 17!
Heh, my mom keeps tellin\' me that I am just like me dad (where are you?!?!?!?!?).

I agree!!

Even if you just have a PSX/PSOne, get a SS system. Alot of games on PSX use the analog SS.

I got a JVC system (speakers and all included) was only $400 but it has a DD decoder and works fine.

I can\'t play it super loud anyway, my doggies FREAK...hahaha

My system was CHEAP! I\'m one of those "frugal" types, so it\'s hard to get me to spend money in any kind of quantity unless it\'s something that we just need (like we just bought a new Dell \'cause the ole PC just didn\'t cut it any more).

Anyways, for years I ran on a garage sale reciever that I found for $5. It was a Fisher Studio Standard something or other that had really good stats and just needed a little work. I think I put an extra $65 into it to get it running at peak performance. Since then I\'ve gotten a home theater reciever, but it was on sale and very much worth the cost. I think it took me two months to find one with all of the stuff I wanted and at the right price.

I\'ll be purchasing a sound system for my PS2 sometime soon. I\'m not going expensive or anything, I just want something that works well.
I\'ve been thinking of getting either the Playworks DTT2500 at $250, or the MidiLand 8200 for $300. Anybody have any other suggestions?
