PS3 surround sound system hitting US retail next week

By Stephany Nunneley

During E3, Sony announced an all-in-one Surround Sound System for PS3 with a built-in subwoofer.

Well, good news everyone. It’s hitting retail in the US and Canada as early as next week.

It sounds easy enough to install. All you have to do is place it in front of your television and connect it to your PS3 via the optical digital cable.

Sony says the system contains its S-Force PRO Front Surround Sound which “creates the equivalent of a home theater system bringing to life in-game sounds not normally audible with conventional acoustic systems”.
