Hi,

or

Creative SBS 5.1 A500
http://asia.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=789&product=16927&nav=1&listby=usage

I want to get serround sound in GAMES, I am on a budget but I can buy Creative SBS A500 5.1 if it's worth it.

I wonder if the center speaker would make a difference,without it they are the almost the same.

Thank you

Hello.

I would have to ask how big is the room?

If the left-center-right speakers are going to be right next to each other you may as well go for 4.1.

5.1 would be better surround sound though but is better to have the speakers at equal distance away from you to have better effect.

I believe both would good enough for games. Then again if you get the 4.1 are you going to be thinking 'Hmm... I wonder if the 5.1 would have been better?'.
