    Picked up a silvercrest 5.1 system from Aldi a while back for £40 but have just upgraded to a pioneer system from play.com which was £150 but normall sells for £300 and you can claim 2 free xbox 360 games from pioneer for buying the unit.

    My reason for upgrading was that I have an xbox 360 and a HD DVD drive add on and the only way you can get 5.1 from the xbox is via optical connection and it seemed a waste to have a HD TV and HD DVD drive without having 5.1 surround

    Highly reccomend the pioneer unit but not sure how much your wanting to spend

    EDIT - Here is the link to the pioneer system

    Try this link, speakers are on clearance:http://www.savastore.com/shop/clearance/dvdaudio/speakers/

    Try this link for the speakers at normal price:

    This place in my backyard and there all always loads of bargains to be had, but the items sell out very quickly. Only three weeks ago I got a set of 5in1 surround speakers for £19.99, but they have all sold out now.
  • we got the pioneer surround sound the other day it came by parcel force and no delivery charge for it. it is designed for the xbox 360 but im sure it will work on everything else.

    If you send your receipt off to Pioneer they will send you 2 xbox 360 games for free

    If you go on the Pioneer website and print out the form for claiming the games and just send it off for your games, even if you don't have a 360 just sell them on ebay or trade them in at a games shop

    Someone mention on the xbox fourm that their is a wireless sound sound system out but its only the 2 rear speakers that are wireless, they did not mention a price but I think it would be over your £100 budget
