"Lady Jane" tells the story of one of British histories tragic figures, Lady Jane Grey, who was forced onto the throne by her manipulative parents and the father of her husband John Dudley. Lady Jane was only queen of England for 9 days, but her story was a good one. The movie takes some liberties

I'm fairly certain that the one universal truth for all vampire nostalgia and vampire movies, is that they only come out at night. A baseball game with vampires in the middle of the day? Don't give me the overcast lack of sunlight excuse, I have solar panels and they still pickup UV light with ful

One of the most fun, exciting and easy to pickup multiplayer game I've played in a long time. Simple but fun. Lots of surprise and fun scary moments. You can "save" your friends if they die in multi-player game which encourages cooperative play and fun for everyone.

Great value!
11/3/2007
These speakers are a lot smaller than I thought they would be as shown on the product image. Still, they pack high quality sound and the bass is good, despite the subwoofer being almost half the size of my last one. My one huge complaint though - these are surround sound speakers Logitech - why are the cables so short! I'm unable to mount the rear the satellites anywhere - currently with the sub/amp under my desk, the maximum distance the rear cables will reach is about 6 ft behind me, and the satellites on my desk have no further slack on the cables either. Really, the cables were quite a big disappointment as it severely limits where I can put the speakers. I don't think having the rear satellites sitting on the floor partially obscured is what these speakers were designed for. The cables seem to be some kind of RCA plug and are hardwired into the satellites, so I don't know whether it's possible to try and extend them.

Besides the cables, everything else is great. The default bass level was way too high for my liking, it took a fair bit of playing around to find a good spot where it wasn't too boomy. The matrix mode works somewhat well, although I'll probably be leaving it off since having to adjust it constantly is not really worth it. For those like me who were somewhat worried that matrix mode could only be set to "Gaming" or "Music", the button is a push-button that toggles between None, Gaming and Music, it's not a sliding switch as the pictures may make it seem.

Overall these speakers are excellent value for money - sure they won't go as loud as some of the higher end models, but they are perfectly loud enough for movies, music and games. I would not hesitate to give these 5 stars if it weren't for the issue with the cables. If you're looking for compact 5.1 system, you won't get much better value than the G51.

Update (2007-11-16): I purchased some 25ft RCA F/M cables for the rear satellites and they have much better positioning now. One additional issue I have noticed is whenever the system is powered on and not muted, the subwoofer driver is vibrating and causing a very low but discernible hum that is audible over my system noise. Raising or lowering the volume has no effect on the loudness, and the hum only stops 2-3 seconds after muting or immediately on power off, which leads me to believe it's some internal component causing it and not noisy output from the sound card or interference. We do get slightly higher than usual utility voltage, so it could be something that goes away if you have clean 120v power.

Pros and Cons of the Logitech G51 5.1
10/13/2007
These are quite honestly the best computer speakers I've ever own. The quality you come to expect from Logitech is only matched by their products performance.

Pro's
Central Control Pod which controls muting, volume, bass, and microphone - No more reaching around the CPU tower to plug/unplug my headset and microphone, or finding a mute button for whatever application I'm using. Its all right there at a convenient centrally located device.
Matrix sound compared to music sound - Adds an extra dimension of sound that heightens play enjoyment. With the surround sound it really makes you feel closer to being in the battle.
Uniform sound quality - The quality of each speaker meshes so well with each other that it's often difficult to decipher which sounds are coming out of which speaker when you're sitting right in the middle of it all.
Moding capabilities - Though a small pleasure, the moding capability to alter the look of each individual speaker is an added bonus. Not a necessity, and definitely not the selling feature, but it adds some flare for aesthetic enjoyment.

Con's
Not wireless - The one real disappointment with the speakers is that they are not wireless. I don't mind that the front speakers and bass unit have wires, but the rear speakers have wires dangling from them which travel along the floor. It doesn't look very appeasing, and it becomes a small hassle as I have to pull my rear speakers forward and put them on my desk when I'm finished using them. If they were wireless I'd just attach them to my back wall and forget about them.
Ease of attaching rear speakers to walls - While they aren't difficult to attach to the wall per se, it does require slightly more effort than I would've liked. I feel like there is a small design flaw in the fact that I have to use a screw driver to twist the speaker to aim it down at my gaming station. It should've had a simpler hinge design that allows for aiming the speakers in any direction I wanted.

Another Great Product by Logitech
10/10/2007
What can I say after testing this unit out for weeks I seems not to find any flaws. The wired remote is way above anything compared to the old Logitech speakers except for the Z-5500 having to control the volume of the surround, sub woofer and center speaker, while having the function of the mic plug and head phone with mute control for both is great to have. The Z-5300 retails the same with this G51 with more power in watts and having THX certification but this G51 has better sound as having a better signal to noise ratio. Can't really say this beats the Z-5300 with my ears but in specs it does as quality of sound is much important than just being loud noise. Also the matrix mode is great having technically 3 profile of listening style (normal, game, and music) setting how loud my center, surround and sub through the wired remote (which is great to have) for each profile. If you are debating if you want to get this or the Z-5300 since there in the same price bracket I would go for this which I am pleased to have them.

Excellent
10/9/2007
The Logitech G51 surround system is excellent. The G51 series speaker system offer great sound for those who are looking for playing music, games or watching movies. Crisp clear sound with everything you listen too. I have, and will continue to suggest that everyone purchase the new G51 surround series speakers.

Logitech Speakers- A great Buy
10/8/2007
I received my new Logitech G51 5.1 Surround Speakers about two weeks ago in the mail, and so far I love them. It makes gaming a lot nicer; the sound quality is just fabulous. Here are some pros and cons about the speakers.
Pros:
The speakers have excellent sound quality, even when the volume is turned to max.
The speakers have adjustable sound controls (i.e. more subwoofer, more surround, more in center)
The speakers have a control pod that sits on your desk, allowing for easy volume/specific sound control
The speakers have plenty of cord, so there is no problem putting them behind/to the side of you.
The speakers have a re-usable Velcro straps to wrap up unused cord
The speakers' cords' ends are plugged directly into the subwoofer, and a cord is included to connect the subwoofer to the computer. There are options that can adapt to 2 port sound card also, so no worries.
There are ports directly in the control pod for a headset/microphone
The control pod has three pre-programmed settings for gaming, music, and just in general. They make a big difference, and they work very well.
All the speakers have nice mounts, sitting upright. They also have the attachments to mount the to the wall, for better surround system. The center speaker also has a special mount so it can mount very well on a flat screen monitor, no screws or nails.
Cons:
The speakers messed up my music at first, until I figured out all the settings to make my music better. That took an hour or so of fiddling with the console and sound controls.
When reading the directions, it was hard to figure out where the English directions were. They were all jumbled in with the Spanish and French directions. Once you found the English, however, they were very clear and easy to follow.
The center speaker made no noise when I first got it, and I had to turn the "center" channel to max, and had to adjust all the other levels accordingly.

The cons were definitely outweighed by the pros, and they are all resolved by now anyway. All in all, this is a great speaker set; I definitely recommend it.
