I think that anyone with a recent home theatre system has surround sound capabilities.
At home, my PS2 is hooked up to my receiver via an optical cable. I use surround sound whenever possible. It definitely makes the experience cooler, particularly for games such as SOCOM 2. It's pretty handy knowing you're being shot from behind.
I don't have surround sound hooked up to my PC. My PC is in my bedroom and I'm not sure where I would put those extra speakers. But I do use a nice 2.1 speaker set.
