I have to agree.

OJ, but thanks.

Credit where it's due.

Back on topic: I still haven't got a camera so I can't show you all my setup

RoachycaL · 18 Mar 2008 at 19:34

My setups changed.... kinda but whenever I take a picture it has to be with flash on because the lighting in my room is so poor

OT: You seem to have become a much better poster recently, I notice many more normal and contributing posts from you now.

Agreed!

Those of you who play at your desk on a PC monitor, how do you find that?

The thing that I love about consoles, and what has kind of taken me away from PC gaming, is the fact you can sit on a nice comfy sofa, in your sitting room, and play games. Not on an office chair at a desk (where I spend 8+ hours a day at work anyway)

Exactly right.....That's why I have mine in the sitting room rather than in my room. Its more social, and helps you chill out

I end up sitting on a bean bag infront of my tv in the living room, can't see people in the distance very well if you're sat too far away on cod.

I reckon playing on a monitor does have advantages though, more of what is going on is in your tunnel vision and also they dont have issues with input lag caused by picture processing etc

Here is a couple of pic of my current setup.

Samsung LER32R32B
Kenwood DVR 7000 Av reciever which is fairly old but still does the business
Samsung DVD HD870 Upscaling DVD player
T-Home VOD box
BFBS satellite receiver.

The 360 and HD DVD add on were vertical but the number of disc read errors I got was incredible. Now I just get crashes instead

Lol do you always keep your controls lined up like that?

I've been doing that since launch (can't afford an HDTV, lowly student) and I've enoyed it. I guess being a PC gamer Im used to it, plus its nice being able to switch back and forth between 360 and PC.

I just lay down on my bed and play. If i cba to move the 360 i'll play it on the hdtv downstairs, but that rarely happens.

Looking back, it was scary how close i used to sit to the screen when playing PC games. :eek:

My 360 setup

Been reading the forums for ages but not posted much. Just thought I would add my modest 360 setup to the thread.

Begbie · 19 Mar 2008 at 11:17

Looks very nice. Will get a pic up when I clean my room

I use my TV as my monitor, so when I play consoles I put the keyboard and mouse to one side and mov back to the bed which is directly in front of the TV, about 7 feet back.

Yes or my family will die

Nah only when I clean up, they get moved about about 2 minutes later though.

Hi i got them from ikea as well the kitchen dept they are just legs meant for kitchen units but i hated the standard casters on the oppli so i thought why not, looks 10x better for it though and only cost £8

hope that helps

Dave Clutton · 19 Mar 2008 at 13:42

Cheers mate.

I took the plunge in October 2007 after using PC's etc for years. It's like they say "Once you have had a Mac there's no looking back."

Its alright.. normally have mate round on pc whilst im on console so its bit crowded :/

I wanna geta nother desk, just a wide flat one and then I can just get a sofa chair and relax ;D

but this set up comes in handy when u wanna use gamefaqs or something

Its great. Means i dont have to move from my comfy chair no matter what platform i want to play on.

Also have a futon thing in the PC room so its suited to gaming with mates too.
