    It does look sort of amateur-ish. One thing's for sure, I won't be going out of my way to acquire one those.

    I don't know, most videogame related stuff from China should have its legitimacy taken with a grain of salt.
    That said, it's not THAT ugly - I sort of like the colour scheme. Even if the EA logo makes me afraid of being bought and raped.

    Im pretty sure that box was a limited internal release for EA, or something.

    The Xbox has a Dolby Digital encoder on it, not a DTS encoder. The PS2 has neither.

    Every game on the Xbox can output in DD. On the PS2 you'll see Pro Logic instead.

    Both systems can output prerecorded DD or DTS. There is some software trickery you can do on the PS2 to fake a real time DTS stream (by pre-recording a bunch of DTS encoded clips and then playing them back at the right moment) but it is software intensive and takes a number of CPU cycles so very few games have used it.

    I guess the real question is, the Xbox is the only console capable of doing real time 5.1 surround sound, so what are you complaining about? DTS is no better than DD so it's not a bit deal that it doesn't do real time DTS encoding.

    Until I see an a pic of a box, it's a fake. Or an internal release like Borman said.

    No, actually I don't. I mean encoding.

    The decoding is done by your Dolby Digital stereo system. Not the Xbox.
