Gaming - Surround Sound - View Post

Just picked up my first surround sound system and loving it already.

Naturally it supports DPL II and Dolby Digital 5.1.  Tried a few wii games and a few DVDs with it and it all sounds amazing.

Its amazing how much better DPLII makes pure stereo sound (Radio/CDs/MP3s.)

The DVD is integrated with the receiver so it implements DD 5.1, and I have digital audio coming from my cable box so that will use DD where applicable.

My Wii naturally uses DPL II.

I would like to know who else has a surround sound system set up and those with both a Wii and 360/PS3 if you can give me anecdotal evidence as to the comparison between the SS with DPL II and DD 5.1

The only comparison I could do was between PL II on the wii and stereo output with the DD of the DVDs.  Poth sounded phenominal to me.

Please, no fanboy rants on either side, I would like some real anecdotal evidence and some intelligent discussion.

 



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?
