Xbox 360 gets surround

With most games now coming with Dolby Digital surround as standard, it was only a matter of time before someone started making surround sound kits for consoles. Pioneer has just unveiled its HTP-GS1, a well-specified and good looking surround sound setup for your Xbox 360.

It comprises five speakers and a subwoofer/receiver with a claimed 600W of amplification, to really annoy the neighbours. Pioneer_htpgs1 It’s been built to look like the Xbox 360 so that it fits in and the remote control also allows you to control the console since it has the Xbox Guide button, the cursor and enter buttons, and the Y, X, A, and B control buttons.

Setup should be easy since it features a auto-setup system called Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System (MCACC) which will bounce sound around your room before adjusting itself for the best results.

It supports DTS and Dolby Digital surround formats and there are a very useful three digital inputs. Dolby Pro Logic II is also supported for analogue or 2-channel stereo sources. No price s or availability yet but we expect it in November. More.
