Yep, and it is worth the money. Once you play this game in true 5.1 sound you cant go back. The A/V pack will run you around $20 bucks. Not sure on the optical cable tho, my surround system came with one. If you want the full experience tho, it is worth the extra money. Some may not want to shell out the extra money, but for those that do, you want be sorry...
