John, I wasn't aware that PS2, XBOX titles had Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, but AFAIK, DOOM3 for the PC will support it IN-GAME, not just for cinematics. It will replace EAX, DirectSound3D, A3D and other 3D APIs :)
Anyway, I'm a PC kinda guy so when I was talking about games, I didn't really think of consoles...forgive me :)

Sihan-
you're missing out if you've never heard Halo in 5.1 sound. It rocks. If Doom 3 sounds as good in 5.1, it's definitely on my list of things to buy. Assuming it doesn't play like a dog on my system.

I certainly hope Doom 3 sounds good! :)
However, idsoftware was never really big on sound, but rather more focused on graphics, even though Q3A supported A3D, which was revolutionary in its time...
Doom 3 is set to be the next big thing though, with realistic graphics and a really gloomy environment, so great sound would just make it even more immersive.
