unless you have a receiver that doesn't have hdmi inputs like me that cost a grand back in 2005 and cant afford to replace it with one that sounds as good. |

Tempe, AZ | Unless it's one of those setups where the cables for the speakers are made specifically for that receiver. Yes, even now, that shit happens.

Tempe, AZ | A lot of HTiB's are still sold with proprietary, non-standard cabling keyed to the receiver they were sold with. So, at that point, it then becomes a factor of replacing the whole setup instead of just the receiver.

Greenwich, CT | Oh HTiB I've heard so much bad things about them I knew to stay clear right now I have my Denon with my Logitech Z680's speakers and I hooked the sub up so I don't need a control pod for it to work.
It's enough to hold me until I get my proper setup next month, HTiB are too limiting.. it might look good then but say 5 years down the road it can be a setback. |

LOL! That's EXACTLY what I was thinking.
Seems like some people are just looking for things to complain about.

Right - Sony and MS did not have a controller like ANYTHING Nintendo had for a few YEARS after Nintendo took it to retail.

You will need your devices connected to the tv if you want to take advantage of the wii u logitech harmony Tvii thing. It's the reason why I have everything connected to my tv for my logitech harmony. |

I'm not sure why having the TVii in the mix would change that... perhaps you could explain that?

I don't know about your Logitech Harmony remote, but mine works just fine the way it's set up above, everything connected to the receiver first, and one HDMI connection from the receiver to the TV.

The optical port is a non issue.
People are nit picking just because they want to be dick bags and jump on the negative Nintendo bandwagon. This new system must be pretty good if this is all people can muster up to complain about.
Wii U could have released with a 1TB internal hard drive, and the same old tired trolls would have come in here complaining about how shitty this system is without a 2TB drive. |

Its unlikely the WiiU would do DD encoding if it had S/PDIF so its only use would be 5.1 from Netflix. If you're a I can tell the difference between RCA and optical audiophile you have a HDMI AVR. |

The Wii U system is great. If your tv sound sucks that bad that you need additional speakers, get a better tv |

I don't think that's a fair assessment really. Some people like true surround sound, not just better sound coming from in front of them where the TV is. I can appreciate that fact - and if I had a better layout in my gaming area, I'd have gone that route quite a while ago. I enjoy watching or playing stuff and having the sound come from all around me. It's more immersive. |

USA | That may be true, but you can't expect the video game makers to supply everything in one system, especially as cheap as 300-350$ |
