I want a speaker system to put in my room. I want at least the sub and 4 speakers, becuase I want surround sound, and I will be using this with a computer or DVD player at different times so it has to be compatible with both somehow, like maybe with a special cable. Also, it needs to be wireless. None of the speakers, besides the sub, can have any cables. Also, I need to keep this under 500 dollars.
Answer
Unless you are willing to spend serious cash, wireless is a joke. If you only have $500 to spend, buy a decent used amp (Denon and Pioneer Elites can be had for good prices if you shop around ebay or craigslist) and get 2 good floor standing speakers to start, then build off that. If you watch, sometimes you can get a set of Polk Rti speakers for a decent price from Fry's, and for the money, they aren't bad.

For what you are trying to do that system will work, and obviously your budget is a concern, however it does not have all the inputs necessary if you want to connect each of your products individually.
You will have to do one of two things:
You will have to do is connect each of the devices to your television, and if your TV has an audio output, you will run an audio cable from your TV's audio output to the speaker system, and whatever is on the TV screen will come out through the speaker system. This would be the absolute easiest way.
If your TV doesn't have an audio output, the other option is to buy an Audio/Video switcher. This will allow you to run the yellow, white and red cables from each of your devices into the switcher and then run video out to your TV, and audio to the speaker system. A little more complicated, but you could also use the optical input that the system offers for your PS2.
Based on what you've got and what you are wanting to spend you may want to look into some computer speakers. Look at a few systems that have surround capabilities, but also offer an auxillary input on them (typically on the subwoofer, and most systems offer it). In the $50 - $150 range you will get more performance from some Logitech or Creative brand computer speakers than you will out of the durabrand system. If Wal-mart.com is where you're going check out their PC Speaker section and you'll find a few systems from Logitech and Creative that will give you very good sound.

Another post above gave a link to a Yamaha speaker system. Only problem with that speaker is that you must also have a receiver to power the speakers, and if you're going to go that route you might as well look at a DVD built in HTIB for $100 - $300, that will give you more performance and features.
