Ok. Garbe should be right at home in this one! :-)
I plan to get a 200 pound Hi-Fi system (in the Argos catalogue), and it claims to have pro-logic surround sound.
Part of the reason I want this is to get surround sound from my consoles.
I know that few of you have a Gamecube, but most of you seem to know what its Pro Logic 2 sound system is all about...
Would I plug the Gamecube into my Hi-fi, or just into the speakers, or are they incompatable full stop?
Also, I might well be getting an Xbox within the next 6 months.
As so many of you have said so many times, 5.1 is VERY different to Pro logic 1/2 (pro being analogue and 5.1 being digital).
But, if the 5.1 set up is INSIDE the Xbox, then I should just be able to wire it to the speakers, right?
Help if you can. :-)

Not bad at all :) I am after a job, now I am 16 I am going to go and get myself a Saturday job :)
Congratulations mate I hope you enjoy your job :) You can play on the Xbox all day now ;) Only kidding :)
Its worth sacrificing a few games to get one, once you hear it you won't want to go back to your ordinary Stereo/Mono TV's. Go into your local Curries and check to see if they have one set up so you can listen to it.
It wasn't mine at first but after hearing sounds from Halo and other great Xbox games I wanted one! I can't listen to things without it now, it really is amazing and has to be heard to be believed.
My main priority is to get the Hi-fi for normal music etc.
The Xbox isn't bad at media, but not my first choice either.
I don't think I'll have a problem with the Gamecube (it'll be pretty much the same as setting up that little sound station I have), and I'll probably get a make-do effect for the Xbox.
At the end of the day, I've only got so much money, and top quality surround sound isn't no. 1 priority. :-)
Thanks for all your help though.
