The Logitech Surround Sound Speakers Z506 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in August for a suggested retail price of $99.99 (U.S.).
7.1 just got a little silly I guess. It is great for a home theater setup in a living room, but it is kinda out there for a computer setup.
Though I do have a 5.1 Thx system from Logitech that I bought many years ago, but these days I just use my headphones all the time. Using the speakers just seems so odd when I am playing a game with voice chat; and the quality of the headphone directional audio has gone up a lot in the past few years and is quite stellar with my Asus sound card. That and my Sennheiser HD595's are frikkin awesome.
