looking at the sound bar.... dont think its worth

Yes it does, the VSS mode on Sony's headsets works for all games. This is because all it does is it takes a stereo source and upmix it into 8 channels (7.1), very similar to how Dolby Pro Logic IIx does upmixing on stereo sources into surround channels as well.

The reason VSS mode on gen1 wireless headset, Pulse Elite and the upcoming Gold sounds so bad is because it is creating channels that isn't there in the first place. A reason why Dolby Headphones and many other HRTF-based virtual surround technologies will always beat Sony's VSS mode. Accuracy (imaging) and seperation is poor on Sony's VSS, it's hard to exactly pinpoint where each virtual speaker is and where exactly a certain audio cue is coming from.

So don't believe the hype, don't believe the marketing. You aren't getting proper virtual surround from Sony's headsets.
