I would first of all say get a sb pro 2. Then I would say ... hell yes
the player with sound has a big advantage over the person w/o. Just
think what if you were on a side of a door and you didn't have sound and
the other person was on the opposite side of the door.. the other player
can here you coming down and pushing on walls.. hehe.. you cannot play
w/o sound sucessfully. Well you could, but you would be dumb to do this.
