Official Sony PS3 Soundbar. Would this thing be any good?

[Euphoria14]

I was browsing Gamestop, checking games that come out before the 25th because my K-Mart vouchers expire then. Anyways I came across this thing and wanted to ask.

Would this really work good? Would it really be like a 5.1 surround sound system in a little 2.1 soundbar?

If so, that's great and convenient. I still haven't set up my surround sound again since moving because it's just a pain in the ass and I don't like all those wires. 

 

Anyways let me know. I would easily sell my old Sony DVX500 5.1 and just use something like this instead. I could do so without really spending anything out of pocket if I do so before the vouchers expire.
