If he doesn't have a cable box to connect, then he can plug is X-box directly into the Blue Sky Media desk 5.1 system. Which is a studio grade powered system.
This system handily out performs the totem dreamcatcher system with a competent receiver connected (no small feat) and is available at Guitar Center probably for less than $1K. Amps for the satellite speakers are built in with the subs amplifier.
If he needs switching the Creative labs DTS610 will cost $149? and allow his computer (itunes?) and his cables box and Xbox to be connected and switched, 1 small draw back...all video runs will be direct to the TV. the sound...well its Hammer Time!
