How to free up that tele for gaming?

I love gaming on my xbox because I can do it form the sofa and its just so much more enjoyable than sitting behind a desk, but the damn tele is jsut getting used for watching too much... well, tele! :mad:

Take last night for example - said was going to hog tele for couple of hours playing dead space because I just wanted to be sure I could get at least one decent length session in. Took a fag break after just under an hour, and when I got back to the continue it was back on normal tele!

I wanted to hit something (or someone).

Tonight I am moving my xbox next to my computer, so that I can play the games I have for it in peace and actually be able to get into them. It just kind of defeats the purpose of having it cause I will no longer be able to chill on the sofa when playing

How do you guys cope in a one tele house?

I bought my own telly...

Problem solved!

Theres nowhere to put another one that would be as comfy for playing as in the living room

Quick question - is there a headphone plug on xbox's?

If I got an arcade console, could I swap my hard drive between the two without issue? So when I wanted to play on the one next to my pc I could just take out the hard drive and move it across and back again when I wanted to game on the on in living room?

It's just that I also use the one in the living room for streaming sometimes, so moving the entire console will be a pain.

There is only one account that ever really gets used, so that will always be the one that gets logged in.

I jsut don't know how the hell I would get audio. Going to have to have a look and see what cables/connectors there are and this weekend go out and buy what I need.

Can't believe I am considering buying a 2nd console of one I already have just to be able to enjoy the odd lengthy gaming session.... annoys me no end.

i use my 360 connected to a 19" WS monitor in my lounge, and my mrs uses her 360 connected to the 32" tv. She watches soaps then sometimes we play CoD4 together on each.

God I wish I could get my other half into games like COD4. The best I have managed yet is a little GH3 and Tiger Woods golf
