Full Surround Speakers For Playing Ps3

[BAMR33]

Anyone have any recommendations to what would best???

At the moment I have a 40" Samsung HD lcd and ps3 and want a home theatre system to do the ps3 justice.

I'm setting a pretty tight budget as that's all I have to spend, around $400-$800.

Open to suggestions but I'm after something with full 360degree HD sound, doesn't have to be overly loud just good quality and fairly compact (Satellite speakers are a maybe) & looking for wireless capabilities.

Any help appreciated,

Brett.

Mate even those cheap surround systems can be good.I bought some no name brand thing from Aldi.The thing is awesome for the price.

How big is the size of the room where the PS3 is in?

Logitech Z5500 would be good for small to mid size rooms & they are available in about every electronic shop.

For larger size rooms, I heard those entry level Yamaha home theater packages are pretty decent (comes with a 5.1ch receiver & speakers), think JB hi fi have some in stock.

Nah, they should have build in amp like most other PC speakers.

Agreed with Mayuri Z5500 is meant to be good - make sure it has Optical (TOSLINK) input as well..

Almost worth looking at an entry level home theatre setup with a decent amp - better also if it's for a lounge room..

If you can afford to wait and save a bit extra I'd recommend you get a bigger system. The ps3's sound quality it awesome and you should try to maximise it! I use it watch all my movies and stuff on as well as gaming. It kicks arse!

Try to get a 6.1 receiver. Yamaha is always a good price for what you get in return. And get some solid speakers! JB or Harvey Normal have a good range. Harvey Norman usually has a higher floor price, but you be able to negotiate a waaaaaaaay lower price than JB. (usually). Accusound are good speakers! Australian made too

The room is fairly small that's thing I won't need a super power full system, only prob is it's an open room and no door...

Also considering this system here it has the optical link, and the anynet connection that will go well the samsung lcd

I'm using the Logitech Z-5500 via optical in my room and love it

In that case, the Z5500 would be good for you, that or any other high end PC speakers, (from like Creative, Altec lansing etc etc)

The Z5500 has optical input with build in DD & DTS decoders, & I'm pretty sure most other high end PC speakers also do.

The link doesn't work.
