This really has no place in this thread man. Get the negativity out of here.
This thread isn't about e-peening. It's about giving ideas, fishing for suggestions, trading tips, and laughing at some of the hilarious places like to get their game on. Seriously.

JOKE! Seriously, I think I need to hire someone to makeover my pad. Nice setups, guys!
Haha, grab yourself a book if you want some good feng shui technique. It's less about what your furniture looks like (though that can help give the room a "vibe") and more about the properties your furniture represent and its position either according to the room or according to compass directions.

I just want you to know that those speakers look like you might get some serious thump. They look like what I used to use as PA speakers at band practice.
And your couch is hands down the most comfortable looking in the entire thread. Seriously. Now that's my kind of couch!
My current setup differes very little from previous photos, all my stuff still lies within the ghetto basement(condo with a semi finished basement , so the insulation is held in with mere plastic, no actual drywall). Anyway, here goes-
What's currently plugged in- we've got 360, wii and dvd player eating up all 3 component inputs and the PS3 plugged in over HDMI. The tv is a sony VVega 42A10 series that was purchased a year ago. It works well enough for my use.
To the left of the main setup is all my crap, the ps2 slim and xbox now unplugged and collecting dust with far too much anime and far too many games filling the racks.
And finally, an attempt at taking a picture of a game in progress, I bought zelda just this past week so that's what I snapped a photo off. I might edit this with a photo of crank on bluray later on.

Nice socks
Bow before this killer setup.
6~ year old iMac (Apple keyboard + MS mouse)
Crappy old desk
Xbox with 300GB HDD softmod with XBMC as main dash
300GB HDD in external Mac mini-esque enclosure
DVD-RW in a giant external case
8.5" portable DVD player with MC360 on it
I do play/watch stuff (mostly watch stuff) on that screen quite often due to its portability, but my main gaming is done on a 32" downstairs where the 360 is hooked up. I've also got an old 19" SD set (it doesn't even do stereo sound!) that I also use for my Xbox, PStwo and DC. Also hooked up to it are the unused N64 and Genesis.

But what's with all those wires, man? You gotta run those through the wall, or at least wrap them up. It'll just look like a sloppy setup until you take care of those.

What's your problem? When I get my basement finished, all the old school stuff is going down there to keep the family room looking nice (one or two conoles only to keep it under control).
I don't see what's wrong with breaking it up.
Yeah Superman is awesomeEteric Rice said:Normally, I'd rip on you for not having a Wii. But I see that you're a Superman fan, so I forgive you.
Although I want a Wii, I cant find one over here, its still sold out everywhere (although I had one at launch and sold it, now I want it back )Thanks, I got those blinds at a local curtain store. Together they were 300 euros. They used to be 2 meters wide so I needed to cut some offNorse said:

All of these amazing TV's are hurting my feelings.
Tip: Turn your sharpness control way down, until you stop getting those glowing edges around everything. (eg the letter boxing, Link's hair etc)Pachinko said:
It will look softer at first, but you will get used to it, and will have a much more natural picture. Turning the sharpness control up will also destroy any fine details in the image, and exaggerate any aliasing / artefacts. (such as MPEG blocking, mosquito noise)

In my room I had pretty much the same distance between my couche and my TV (I had the same TV) and I got headaches from watching stuff on it. Especially games. I got seasick from Crackdown.

No problems here. I was thinking of getting a 40" but that would be too big for this distance for sure so I got the 32", plus I could save some money hehe.

I love that setup and strangely enough, I'm more impressed by the contest of your closet. I'm a Dutch Art History student, so a big part of my study is reading a lot of stuff. Your setup looks incredibly comfortable, too. I totally dig it.oo Kosma oo said:I'm very happy with my setup. PC and 360 hooked up to my 32" 720p Samsung. Still a student

I try to tell people they don't need to sit so close to their TVs... my mother in law sits about 6 feet away from a 50" JVC LCD and it makes me sick after a couple of minutes. It's gotten to the point where I can't even watch TV over there anymore so I opt out when they put in a movie and go off to play NDS instead.
I understand wanting theatre quality but even in a theatre you're sitting hundreds of feet away from the screen (unless you're one of those tards in the front who loves to crane their head all the way back just to look up).

I have to ask... where did you pick up that area rug? I've been looking for an area rug with Hanzi (Kanji) on it for ages with the colors that I want. Our living room color scheme is dark browns, blacks, tans, and greens with a lot of rice paper and bamboo. An area rug like that (with some different colors for the characters and their corresponding backgrounds) would go really well in our living room.

I'd say the black is worth that extra 3-500$. Definitely much nicer than the grey. Hell, if you're already dishing out for the XBR might as well.

Damn that is impressive. I'm glad the Q is being kept in such good condition. Best console ever.
...I smell a For Sale thread coming on!
EDIT: Also, I'm looking for an inexpensive HDTV for my dorm room. I'll be in a suite with 3 other guys, and we'll have a decent-sized common area. I'm thinking under $1000, but I don't know where to start. GAF, your recommendations, let you give me them.
