The problem I get with surround sound is just that, the surround! I find watching something in front of me and hearing a sound behind me, distracting! If I walk down the street and I hear a sound behind me, it's because there IS something behind me making the sound, it's not in front of me 'pretending' to be behind me!
Until you have 'surround video' then surround sound to me is pointless, but that's just me
