To be honest you aren't going to get anything decent for that sort of money... nothing that would come close to the term "home cinema" anyway. Add a couple of hundred to it and look at a few of the entry-level Sony packages.

Those Creative systems are not to be underestimated, i had one as my first system,and i still have it for gaming in the spare room, for value they are brilliant but you will probably upgrade along the line, im currently on a 6.1 Marantz/Mission setup but i still think the creative sounds good for the money.

I recently heard the Creative system in a large store and to be honest I wasn't impressed at all. Don't get me wrong I admire these systems for what they are - computer speakers !

The bass was non-existant except for a boomy mud at the low end which made the rest of the speakers less effective.

My advice would be to save up for a bit longer and buy something decent second hand and proven until finances improve for you.
