A few interesting XBOX Live set ups.

They're a bit much for my tastes but it goes to show how hardcore some folks are.


Wow!

I saw that posting a few days ago on the Xbox live site.

Pretty cool, but I'd never spend that kind of money.

The movie theater type setup, the first one, was pretty impressive.

The first one is a very nice HT, but I doubt it's main purpose is for the Xbox.

That first one is nice but I will never ever understand why folks do seating like that at their home HT. To me that is a waste of money. I just need two chairs one for me and one for my wife.

PS. I'd never go into dept on something I did not need. That is just damn crazy to me.

Some people don't go to the theater at all anymore, and want to recreate the experience as much as close as possible. Plus that guy probably has friends over for movie nights all the time.

Plus, who knows if he went into debt to buy that, the dude might just be wealthy and building that was no big deal to him.

It's not something I'd ever do either as I'm not that big of an audio/videophile, but still, different strokes for different folks.

What the guy said about the system.


Okay, we’re impressed. We just had to ask what a rig like this costs. “The entire system, including hardware, software, and chairs, was around $20,000,” SupraMan confessed. “I work in retail—it took a while of saving up and putting a lot of debt on my shoulders, but you only live once.” Supe also wanted to give a shout-out to the regulars at the soundandvisionmag.com forums. “It took about a month of research before I spent anything, and all of them helped me make what I play on every week. Without them, I would have probably spent more and overall got a lesser-quality system.”


I do my damn best to make sure I never ever go into dept not even by a 100 bucks. I mean it's cool and I'd like to have a set-up like that without all the wasted chairs but damn. Even if I had the money for it I'd have to think about it long and hard. I'm also like you are I'm not a audio/videophile.

My bad, I missed that. That is crazy, but to each his own I suppose.

I'd love to be debt free, but it's just not possible with student loans, then mortgages and car loans etc.

But I never go into debt over luxury itimes. I don't mind putting a $500 or so purchase on a CC as well, as long as it's interest free for a year. Might as well pay it off over time, rather than take the big hit at once if it's not going to cost me more in the end.

In my experience, once you get beyond a certain size, having a big screen like that can be a disadvantage in many games. It becomes difficult to see your entire on-screen world with one quick glance, making you more vulnerable as you shift your focus to other parts of the big screen.

Well going into debt for the things you wrote are fine cause it will help your future. Me and my wife are in debt cause of her school loan. However the carer she is in you can easily make over $50 an hour. I don't count that type of thing as debt. Now being in debt cause you can't control your spending and putting everything on a CC is true debt it's also retarded. Going into debt for luxury items is damn dumb.

I'm going to school soon but the government is paying for it woohoo. So we will not be in dept long.

PS. There fixed don't be a smart ass you know what I might.

What the heck is dept, anyways?

Exactly. I could hook an Xbox up to my dad's HT that's about 2x as expensive as that.

first one looks great for watching dvd's but doesn't look like it would be that fun to play games on.
