Sony 5.1 surround sound

POSTED BY: woz 3 weeks, 1 day ago

Hello,
I'm after a Sony 5.1 surround system. It doesn't have to be top spec or even brand new. I want to connect it to my Blu Ray player, XBOX 360, Sky Plus and 40" TV.

I know you can get HDMI connections etc but will I REALLY tell the difference as the room isn't that big and I mainly just want it for some good basey sound whilst playing games etc. I'd like it to be Sony as it will match my TV and Blu Ray that way. Can I have true 5.1 for all the devices. My knowledge on this is a little slim

I guess my budget is around £100. I can't seem to see much on ebay but I was thinking that I wont need a DVD player including in the setup...but I will need an amp

Any ideas?

Thanks, but do I really need another DVD player as I have my Blu Ray for that? Does this DVD player play movies from a USB key?

Also, will I get 5.1 for my films and 360 with this?

So if I get an AMP and some 5.1 speakers will this do the job for films and 360? Can anyone else help?

Thanks for the offer though mate, it does look like a decent system but I just dont want another DVD player
