Chopsticks Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Ahhhh well, only live once and all that Gone and ordered myself the Pioneer setup that Digga linked to, a quick Google around the wibbly wobbly web seems to suggest it's been pretty well received, audiophiles somewhat sniffily say it's very much suited to playing games and watching loud films via a 360 and not much else, but since that's exactly what I want to do with them, no problem! Mrs Turnip will be absolutely thrilled when they turn up...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yes you will. Some of the effects (bullets, aircraft flying overhead and especially footsteps creeping up on you) add an extra element managed to get hold of an optical cable and with my 360 connected to my 5.1 dvd player i can certainly notice the difference on bioshock, excellent sound Cheers for the tip, i'd have carried on just using the two audio cables. Now i just need to get stuck into bioshock tonight, i still haven't even got to the first big daddy yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsticks Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Wanky bloody Play haven't even confirmed the despatch of my order yet. Every time I order stuff with Play I always end up saying, "NEVER AGAIN!" because it takes 10 days and more for the gear to turn up. And yet, there I am again within a couple of months, thinking, "Ooohhhhh but it's so cheap, I must order again!" I'll have a gander down at Waltons tomorrow, if they can knock out the same sort of kit for maybe £250, I'll buy from there instead and cancel the order with Play.

Chopsticks Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 The directors of Play.com clearly read Manx Forums (as well they should), because I got a confirmation of despatch this very morning. In Play language of course, this means that my speakers might arrive before the end of the year 2076 if I'm lucky, but at least it's progress.

modey Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 You might be surprised actually, electrical items are usually delivered a lot quicker than dvd's, games or cd's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it won't be today because we're inside the course, so hopefully some time next week. I'm itching to do my second playthrough of Bioshock but don't want to start until I have the 5.1 rig set up.
