[stuart9962]

Whats your gaming setup look like?

i have the go ahead for a wee games room and need some pointers so let the showing off commence......

[RemaL]

40" 1080p TV in lounge.

360 under it.
PS3 under that

next to that a 5.1 DVD SS

3 controllers. for the 360
2 for the PS3


and living the life

I would have thought for a games room you just need a good TV, sounds and thats it? what else do you need.

I have a 50" 1080p Plasma in the living room but don't normally use the Xbox on it

[Norbury90]

26 inch Samsung TV, because the room I currently use is so tiny. Any bigger tv and it would feel like a cinema screen. PS3 hidden behind that, and surround sound system behind that. Games on the bookshelf above the chairs.

There wasn't much else we could use the room for, apart from maybe a broom cupboard

Throw her down the stairs or something then she'll be in bed for a lot longer than usual! Obviously don't make it look like you did it on purpose.

[Curry Burns]

32" 1080p HD LCD, with 360 and PS2. Dolby 5.1 digital (not bad, not as good as the real thing)

TO play the xbox, I use an old office chair (newly refurbished) and a lovely cane footstool.

Does me fine, alot better that the 21" 12 year old CRT I had last year.

I just took delivery of a WheelStandPro today, so I have moved the couch 4 feet fromt the TV.
