Speakers straight into the TV

[E-Stat]

Ok, thank you. So IF I plugged concept speakers directly into the TV (and the TV/speakers had the in/outputs for it), would it really sound that bad for gaming and watching foxtel? Or would it be near enough?

That depends upon how much power the TV had. My old one had five watts per channel which worked fine at lower levels.

I don't really want a receiver in my room, also it would cost a few hundred. With regard to audioengine speakers, it seems they're more of an American product and I'm from Australia.

Powered speakers like them - or an Australian equivalent - require a line level output from a source using an RCA jack. Once again, it all depends upon the output options found on a given TV. Look here at the back of one.

Like E-stat asked (twice, so far), what options does your TV offer? On some, there are none and you're screwed.

So, what's the back of your TV have? Does it have even an earphone jack?

Now, that's three times this question has been asked.
