A counter to that observation would be.. Even if it was 5.1, I and many people would only use 5.1... There are a lot of people who still use 5.1, even though there are other options like 9.1 ect...


True, but you could also say the same thing about it if is was only stereo. (well almost, it's the principle of the matter.) I'll soon have a 6.1 system, so it'd be worthless for me. Sony did a good job of hiding the fact that it was only 5.1. Nowhere did it mention it, except in a spec sheet where there were some Yes/No answers. Beside 7.1, it just said NO.
