Hell, for the same price I can get a bare-bones Sony HTIB and get 5.1 surround right out of the box, never mind this tinny four tweeters w/built-in sub crap.

I like to have my games heard, damn it!!
I won't knock it till i hear it. But as a general rule "sound Bars" never sound that great. And without a proper powered sub attached are generally as tinny or worse than the speakers already on a tv. I'll wait to hear it first but i have my doubts that a sub "inside" the bar will be sufficient.
