would the games sound better? I'm currently using just the regular speakers on my TV. Keep in mind, there is only 2 speakers in my stero system (it has 1 speaker for the middle but I'm not sure if that would work). Thanks!

4 speakers (one sub)
-Main bookself speakers up front (2 obviously)-I just used my two bookself from my stereo setup a while back.
-center channel (you already have) in center. I have a JBL which was nearly 200 alone, but you dont have to go that deep
-2 rear speakers in the back (dont need to be expensive I just bought some off ebay for like 15-30 bucks) It was a good price. To hook the rear up in the back just get some 8 gauge speaker wire, just tuck it under your trim in your room-good solution and get those white plastic wire covers when you go up the walls with wires.
-And last a sub-getting cheaper and cheaper (probably get an average one for use with games for 30-50)
-of course you will need a dolby digital decoder on your reciever just make sure of that. Also make sure its got atleast one digital coaxial input and or optical input. I went with optical because on my 360 a/v cables I have a optical slot. If you have xbox monster cables you probably have one to.
(my reciever is a yamaha htr5830 it was around 170 at bestbuy)
I know its a lot to think about but you will really enjoy the sound. Just something to think about.
please note this is for an average but pretty impressive setup, mainly for a small room.

I just noticed my stero system (the ones that play CDs and cassetts) has a dolby pro logic. If I get this cable:

Well first off, Dolby pro-logic is not true 5.1 channel surround sound. All it means is that your reciever has the ability to change a stereo signal into a 4 or 5 channel signal, emulating surround sound. Yes it would sound better than your TV, but because it isn't actually surround, you would have no need for an optical audio cable. To use the pro-logic correctly you would have to purchase rear speakers for your setup, and plug the RCA cables (red/white) into the input on your stereo.
