About Me
Hi, I'm an old school gamer who is growing older each year, thank god I still haven't out grown gaming...right? I have retained my passion for all things gaming related.


I’m a multi console lover who plays it all! My favorite flavor is FPS but am really interested in blending of genres. I’m a sick blend of old school meets future tech whore and I like it like that!

Pioneer HTS-GS1 Surround System for Xbox 360 Review
UltraDSA | 9:22 PM on 01.08.2008 5 comments


I ordered this surround sound system for the ridiculously low price of $89.99 and free shipping via Buy.com and what I received for what I paid just blows my mind.

The system is visually and functionally themed to go with the Xbox 360. The goal in mind from Pioneer was clearly to save space without cutting down on the features. The system includes everything you need including extras such as rear wall speaker mounts and a optical cable.

The space saving is a plus due to all the main receiver features being contained into the subwoofer. You get a small interface panel that is light and small that fits easily onto of your 360. The sound this system produced was overly impressive. I was able to crank the volume very high with little to no distortion. I have a medium/large living room and the unit fits the bill perfectly. Other features include:

-Microphone automatic calibration setup.
-Front stage surround that mimics surround without the need to place speakers behind you.
-Quality sound for a medium size living room.
-A remote that will control your TV, 360 and the surround.

Over all this system is worth a buy. You can find it on the net for around $99.99 and that’s a steal considering it was released at $499.99. Games will come to life, you can detect what directions something approaches and bullets will whiz buy in digital glory.

Pros:

-Nice universal remote that works great for the 360.
-Compact space saving design.
-3 digital inputs.
-beautiful sound quality.
-price.

Cons:

-Sub will have to be near the TV due to it also being the receiver.
-For this price there really isn’t any.

I would also like to add that this system will out do most $300.00 department store surround sounds in a box and I know this from experience. A must buy if you need surround sound!

Nice, I might have to pick one of these up. I was looking for an inexpensive surround solution for my 360. Thanks!

If you look around on the net you can find them in the $99 range like Amazon.com But yeah it's the best deal I found in awhile.
