  11. XBox 360 and PS3 in Surround Sound?

    If you want real surround (discrete channels) you have to use an optical audio cable or HDMI for your sound, period.

    If you're using the red/white RCA cables, you're only getting stereo (if you hear surround, it's being matrixed by your reciever w/ Pro Logic).

    If your receiver has a digital coaxial input, you can get an optical to coaxial converter and use that.

    And, Sanitarium, are you sure you're getting surround that way? Every TV I've ever heard of will only output 2 channel PCM from it's optical out unless it's outputting audio from an OTA antenna. Are you sure you're not outputting a stereo signal that your receiver is matrixing to surround?

    The correct way to set it up is to have the HDMI going from your ps3 to the TV, and have the optical cable going directly from the Ps3 to the receiver.

    How does it compare to MW2?

    Is there Live play similar to MW2?

    bf is 100x better.

    its all preference though. if you like unrealistic teenage based wanne be shooters than cod is for you.

    if you dont want to waste your time with kiddie games, get battlefield. i have played so many of their games and each and every one is great. IMO, they have the best shooters out there. It is much more squad and teamwork based rather than just running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

    *sparknotes*

    cod sucks

    battlefield rocks

    (also, this is coming from a guy who has spent about 20 days on cod 4, 8 days on world at war, and a few days on mw2)

    edit: i just realized i should also include this. another reason bf has been a better experience for me is because i play bf on pc and ive only played cod on consoles. pc players are much more tolerable people and are generally older and have actually worked and paid for the system they are playing on.
