didja get that ayane figure that came with preorders?or was that for japanese versions only? i got the kasumi one that came with the US version.
Errr, that's a Sony HD CRT right there and it kicks the shit out of most of the TVs posted in this thread in terms of quality. Sure, it's small (probably 30"), but the picture destroys any random LCD in so many areas.mr stroke said:
less games and better TV maybe?

I had enough of it at gamers/ign/1up. Sorry gaffers.
You could always copy-and-paste a standard reply. I'm just saying...routinely posting pictures of 10 or so HDTVs as well as a collection of every hardware revision ever will tend to elicit questions...

Exactly.
No kidding. I think I slightly messed up my lower back while moving a 34" Sony upstairs. We had to turn it sideways and everything. Absolutely awful.urk said:Especially if you drop it on one.
I loved my 34" Wega, but damn that fucker was heavy and the cabinet was so huge.
My gaming "stations" have not changed much since last year (and here they are again):
Office photo 1
In addition to the Athlon system, I have added a MacBook Pro 17". The Athlon gets used very rarely anymore!
"The Shrine" is the same:
And on another wall in my office we have 'The Shrine'. The arcade cabinet is one that I built and plays the Williams Arcade collection as well as the HanaHo Capcom collection. Systems on display and connected to the switchbox on the small TV (except for the handhelds of course)are, from the top shelf down and left to right: NES, SNES, "off market" game system purchased while in Europe, Atari 10-in-one joystick, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, Genesis and 32X, NeoGeo Pocket Color, WonderSwan Color, Atari Lynx, GBA with Afterburner installed, GBA SP, Game Gear, 2 Nintendo DS's, Atari Jaguar CD-ROM, 3DO FZ-10, Atari Jaguar, Pong system board, VIC-20, Colecovision. Most of the games are stored in the shelves and drawers of the unit.
I can also pipe the video to the arcade machine or my PC as well!
The ever popular GBA box room border!
Family room set-up is mostly the same except that we introduced the PS3 to the mix (but not in this old picture) and relocated the XB360 to the master bedroom.
And my upgrade for this year was replacing the TV in our bedroom. So we went from this:
to this:
65" Mitsubishi 1080p. Sweeeet!
One last addition to the compute systems in the home was the addition of a 20" iMac in the kitchen for the family.
Here's to great gaming in 2008!

i totally agree, altho when i post stuff and people request to know what i do for a living, i prefer not to answer. if people told others before then i dont see why it would be hard for them to repeat their occupations. not everyone keeps track of everyone's replies.
Man, I love looking at the pics of everyone's game environments. We built a new house recently, so I don't have the theater room done yet, but here is the home theater room from my last home.
That Mitsubishi Diamond Series cost me $6000 5+ years ago. 1080i TVs today start at $500. CRAZY!

isn't that that one with the 9" CRTs? i bet the picture was amazing.cRIPticon said:
low quality camera phone shots incoming.
PS3 connected to the LCD monitor and PS2 connected to the CRT TV.
It works well because we can play PS2 online and LAN games on seperate displays.
Also, we pull dish chairs (or some other kind of folding chair) right up next to the displays. We don't sit across the room. ;p
And my PC is connected to this monitor:

I really, really scrimped for a while after I bought my LCD last winter. To paraphrase my old wrestling coach, discomfort is temporary, but HDTV is 4-5 years.

One of the biggest problems I found with mine was getting a stand that could support the weight, plus the components, and then still be tall enough so I can view the screen without looking down at the floor. I never understood why most crt tv stands are between 16 and 22 inches in height when the set needs to be at least 30 inches off the floor to view it properly when seated.
It's too bad Sony didn't make a larger version of their 24" GDMFW900 computer monitor. I still think it's the best looking consumer display made.

i missed this one...awesomerobot said:Here's a Sega New Astro City on the opposite wall. I wound up going with this model because japanese cabinets look so much cooler than American cabs, it matches the palette down there, and it has one of the best monitors out there. I swapped out the sticks and buttons with Seimitsu and Sanwa parts. I also put temporary plugs on a few buttons for a true Neo layout, and wired a Neo gamepad in case someone can't handle the magic of the sticks.

Where did you get those Gorillaz-figures?

They have multiple color variants, so don't blame me when your wallet begs for mercy. Their other stock is pretty amazing, too.

Shadowrun, the game of games.
I will post my setup later, but I have 2 different areas....
In my downstairs bedroom (kind of like my personal little living room), I have my Wii and 360 hooked up on a 30 inch Samsung HDTV (its a tube television though, not LCD...nice pic though)
In the main living room, I have my PS3 hooked up to a 52 inch Philips LCD TV. The only problem with this, my parents get first dibs to the room, so if they want to watch tv, I got to wait to play.
SHould I move the PS3 with the Wii60 or should I keep it out in front because of the big TV????

Another room I love. Looks comfortable and totally unique to you, props for giving it a signature touch.
My older bro has one of those TV stands, surprisingly nice for how cheap they are! I've been thinking of picking one up. Kick-ass Nintendo banner, by the way.
