I don't think I've mentioned it on here before, but my DVD player/stereo doesn't work quite right. There are a large number of DVDs (and a few CDs) that it just flat out refuses to play or, worse, teases me into thinking it might play and then changing its mind at the last minute. Or after the last minute, as when it froze right in the middle of Garden State! Grr!
Well, the thing's still under warranty and I found the receipt for it last week, so I went out today to the local Samsung authorized repair place and dropped my player off for service. The man at the shop told me that the repair would take a week to a week and a half.
I can, and probably will, plug my X-Box straight into my TV, so I'll be able to do all of the regular things I could do with my stereo, but I won't have the wonderfully rich quality of my 5.1 speaker surround sound.
This makes me sad.

What's ridiculous is that right after I dropped my DVD player off to get fixed I bought 4 new CDs...

Nah...it's in your blood to buy cd's. You still have your car cd player so it's not as much of a surprise that you would buy them.
17 days until camp...

I believe XBOX supports Dolby... or maybe it's just PS2

No I knew it. From the instructions to the machine you own:
To use digital audio, you must select the appropriate audio settings for the Xbox video game system:
1. Turn on your Xbox console with no disc in the disc tray.
2. Select Settings, then select Audio.
3. Select the digital audio setting for your system. Play DTS or Dolby® Digital audio only on AV
systems that support these audio settings.
Wonder what else your tech items do you are missing out on? :)

was just about to make the same suggestion I took the speakers from my dvd home system and used them on the x-box to play fifa 2005.

Ah, sorry; My explanation wasn't clear. It's not that the X-Box doesn't support the wonderfully rich sound my speakers are capable of producing, it's that my speakers are not plugged into anything. They're supposed to go into the back of the DVD player/stereo.
