Logitech X-540 5.1 speakers

[motorcitydice]

I'm thinking about getting this set to replace my crappy PC speakers. I'm currently running my PS3 through my 23" HDMI monitor with the crappy speakers. It's a small room and I don't want to use headphones all of the time for decent audio. I'm looking for anyone who has a similar set up and is using these speakers. Price is a major factor for my cheap ass; the most bang for the buck is the reason that I'm targeting this particular set. Most reviews seem favorable, but I need a real cheap ass opinion.

If anyone can give me a quick review for PS3 or 360 use, that would be a plus!

BTW, this is one of the best deals I have found on them so far: $83.99 - $30 (for total purchases over $100 in mail coupon)= $53.99. Throw in some printer ink that I'm going to need anyway and it sounds like a pretty good deal.

Should I bite on this, or am I wasting my hard earned dough?

i use those on my ps3 and 360 at work.
i have two problems with them.
the volmue during movie playback is a bit lower than id like. with games its no problem at all but it seems like movies audio is set at a lower volume.
also the volume control does not controller the volume output to the headphone jack.
thus the headphone audio is lower than id like.

overall i think theyre pretty good.
the sound qaulity is pretty good the build quality is good as well.

try newegg. i cant recall what i paid exactly but i think its close to your after rebate price and i didnt have to wait on a rebate.

good luck. i have no regrets in my purchase.
