Samsung shows off new HT-WS1 soundbar

In addition to that new AS730 HTIB, Samsung's kicking around a new soundbar audio system, which packages a 260W 2.1 setup (capable of virtual 5.1) with a sizable wireless subwoofer for the passable price of $350. The HT-WS1 is fairly diminutive as far as soundbars go, and is wall mountable if you're into that. The bar is styled in Samsung's "Touch of Color" grey and red to match your Samsung TV (you do have a Samsung TV, don't you?), and the whole kit will be available in April.

Curious, but would this integrate in a special way with a Samsung TV so that the video and the audio are still in sync after video processing delays?

I always wonder with these things... how is this really better than the built-in speakers on the TV? Okay, a sub I get, but the soundbar? Lots of money for almost so little added value (the sub).
