hi folks wondering if anyone can help me with advice on what system to look out for. im looking for a surround sound system that i can plug my ps3 xbox 360 and sky into all at once without having to mess around switching cables every time i use each device. i was looking at the alba as122 3.1 but i dont know if i plug it into back of tv with red and white cables if i will get sound through all devices or need to mess about swapping cables for each device. help!! lol

Onkyo308 surround system is an amazing piece of kit

For that amount you may struggle to find a system that will let you do what you want. That is all in one territory and they generally lack connectivity so it can be a nightmare plugging all the bits of kit you have into it without needing some form of external switch.

Though more expensive a "proper" AV receiver has all the connections you could need to plug everything up and make life a load easier. I've just spotted that Richer Sounds are doing the amazing Onkyo 3305 system for 230 quid. A bargain for a real AV system.

You could do a whole lot worse but I doubt you'd better that system at the price.
