To plop rght in front of the screen.
I normally sit about 5 foot away from the 50" screen as i like that sense of being "in the game" rather than playing it on a screen, which is what i get if i play it on the sofa (about 15" away).
So i am now looking for a cheap, but comfy, seat to put front of the screen to play games. It can't be too big (so Lazy Boy is out of the question), but i don't want a bean bag either as that would give me neck ache from having to look up all the time.
Any recomemdations?

thanks
DJ

How about one of those cheap folding chairs with the little drinks holder in the arm? Like this:

The more reclined ones are better I think

Something like this : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Carbon-Fibre-Ra

Although i'd be inclined to scavenge a swivel desk chair base and buy a nice recaro off ebay from a real car - piece off piss and cheaper !
