video game console, nintendo ds lite Pick your video game console of choice. No matter what it is short of the Nintendo DS Lite or other portable device, surround sound is more of a requirement then a luxury. In the portable case, closed ear headsets are the answer. Yea, we have all played from the speakers of a TV but when a subwoofer, equalizer and tweeters are added to a gaming system the thought of living without is impossible.

It is a true marriage of the senses. What is a WWII attack on a Berlin without the percussions of air raids and .50 caliber exchanges? Not a fan of shooters? Well then does the roaring of a Ferrari Enzo around California’s Laguna Seca amidst opponents vying for pole position get you going? Or how about the digital cheers of thousands as you move Shaq down low to slam against Duncan?

There will never be a divorce between a video game console and surround sound after they meet. The two go hand in hand like Chuck Norris and victory. Nintendo consoles to Microsoft all deserve the companionship of face pounding sound. Does anyone disagree?
