I do not post here often, but whenever I do I like to bring something very nice to the table; and today is no different.
Despite the fact that we all are a bunch of cheapasses (and proud of it), we are all very much aware that these days the quality of your gaming is directly proportionate to the quality of your gaming rig; and with the next generation just months away, the quality of your gaming rig is about to become that much more important. HDTV, multi-channel surround sound and broadband internet makes all the difference in any gaming experience. They will breath new life into even the most fun games, and make them all that much more fun.
As some of you are already well aware, last year Microsoft announced a 5-year deal with Spherex Design for their omnipolar speaker technology as the basis for the Official Xbox branded Surround Sound System. And as many of you know, despite the fact the system's audio, build and upgradability quality were of the highest order, well above any other similer system aimed at gamers and PC users, the asking pricetag of $500 was a bit steep (okay, very steep) and this has turned more than a few gamers away. Well I just came across a deal that has finally lowered the price of the Spherex Xbox 5.1 Surround System to a price that anyone can afford.
Why is this deal so special? To those of you who are audiofiles I do not have to explain, but to everyone else, just know that omnipolar speakers tend to produce a sound quality, depth of perception and a soundstage of speaker systems that run up to x10 their price - omnipolar is just that good and the Spherex brand is no exception. Until the Spherex System came to retail, the least expensive omnipolar speaker set ran around $1500 (for the speakers only). At $500 the Spherex's were already a bargain, but now at $350, they are priced within a range that only a broke old fool would deny. The technology is sweet, extremely cutting edge and for the money, you'll be extremely hardpressed to find a better setup out there.

You can grab one of these from Amazon for only $350! Amazon has just put the Spherex Omnipolar Surround System on sale for $380, and if you sign up for the Amazon Visa, you get an additional $30 off your first purchase, bringing the total for the Spherex system down to only $350.
Even though I do not need one of these, at $350 it is getting extremely hard to pass up. I may pick up one of these in the next couple weeks.
