I'm a big fan of the sound. The music, I mean, come on, Beyond the Sea playing while you're going down that elevator? Awesome.
And just the nasty creepy things the Splicers and Little Sisters say. Too great.

Yamaha's YSP-4000 Digital Sound Projector adds HDMI upscaling

Of the two, I'd choose the Yamaha over the Polk. The Polk, though nice, too needs a receiver to run through. The Yamahas are standalone, apart from the subs. Also, whereas the Yamahas are an array of 21 to 40-something speakers in the bar, the Polk is essentially a one-speaker component.

For the price and the quality, I say you're better off with the Yamahas.

Sure, it's a bit pricey, but this particular piece fills the need for people who either don't have the space for a full 5.1 surround sound system or don't want to deal with it. I've heard the YSP-1100s and I've found that they're amazing. I loved the sound that came out of the soundbar and especially when you've got some walls to provide reflection for the sound. Even if you don't, the soundbar adapts to it and reflects the sound off whatever else.

This particular model is good for us because we've just remodeled and the only to have a 5.1 system would be to either have wires showing or loop them through the walls. Both very troublesome. That, and the HDMI throughput is nice, too.

So, we're some of the market that this soundbar is targeting. And do give the model a listen if you ever come upon it. You'd be surprised.

Don't forget the subwoofers that Yamaha designed for use with the soundbars, too.
The YST-FSW050 and the YST-FSW150

Together, that should give you a nice little thump.

Joyswag: BioShock Xbox 360 faceplate & t-shirt

I'm glad I paid my Bioshock preorder out in full today. Just one more week till I have some gaming bliss in my hand.
In the meantime, I'll play the crap out of the demo to tide myself over.

Plenty of publishers turned down Bioshock

If you think that's all there is to the game, you're a complete imbecile. That, or you have no thumbs and therefore can't play the game, so you wrote that post out of jealousy with your mangled, misshapen stump of a hand.
But I bet you're just stupid.

Bioshock demo now available on Xbox Live [Update]

@root.
I don't know about you, but I've never had this problem before. This is the first time I've had a download be so slow.
I highly doubt this is a regular thing everytime a demo comes out, so I think it might be something to do with you. I've always had quick downloads. It's just that practically everyone who owns a 360 is trying to get this demo. So, obviously there will be some issues.
Damn.
