    EDIT: I'm an idiot. Surround sound on PS3 and not laptop. My bad. Do any of your DVD's have a Dolby thing at the start of the DVD. I know that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon has one.

    If you've got Shoot 'Em Up that might be a good one to try out. Lots of gun touting action in that.

    Any FPS or action games you could try out?

    I might go and pickup a one of the Pixar ones. They are all cracking.

    You can pick it up for about €10 in xtravision.
    For €10 you can't go wrong.
    I thought it was a good game.

    On the other hand I thought it was shocking. It's kind of a marmite game.
    Anyway back to the point, The Dark Knight was the first Blu-Ray I watched through my PS3 with a 5.1 system and it was amazing.
    Also games like COD are great because if a grenade goes over your head you hear it behind you which makes the gameplay more intense.

    Dance scene from The House of Flying Daggers. Rest of the movie is a good tester for your TV too.
