I don't trust eBay. It's too easy to get ripped off.

The price on creative.com was about £120, I got it for 60

ya but did you actually GET the speakers yet?

Uhh... no. I only won it one hour ago

7.1 surround sound is pointless. You need nothing more than 5.1 surround. At most, 6.1 (the sixth being the rear center). Have the two extra side speakers is just more wiring to deal with.

Post the link to the item from eBay.

Lucifer, eBay is easy to get scammed on yeah.... but it's also easy to stay away from a scam.

Ebay is sounding similar to trademe in New Zealand right now...people are starting to scam in both places.

7.1 Surround sound? All I've heard is 5.1 surround sound....:S

It's easy to get scammed on Ebay. But it's also easy to make them pay.

Just take down the IP, ISP, and abuse contact for each person you buy from. If you get scammed, then contact the abuse department of their ISP, and have them shut down their IP.

Doesn't reverse the scam, but it helps.

You can also report them to paypal/ebay, and they get put on an investigation

I never knew there were different levels of surround sound. <.<

And congrats on the win.

It's just arrived, and its awsome! Its got a speaker in every corner of my room, and in the middle.

Now all I need is a new sound card to make it better

God bless the brave soundcards.

I wanted to do that to my room once. I've got two speakers on my computer, a stereo at the other end of the room (with 5.1 I believe), and we have like 6 speakers made for surround sound in the basement. <.<
