Where do you store your video game accessories?

I'm talking your Wiimotes, your controllers, your controller chargers, your headsets...where do all of you store yours? Any creative storage areas out there? Share pictures if you have them...looking to figure out where to put all my stuff, and then deal with my (massive) wire problem.

as of now, it's a cardboard box... messy...

the wireless controllers are okay, but everything else is just a mess. The wiimotes' straps are pretty annoying too, same with the Nunchuck's wire (and i only got one ).

The same box got following in it (or at least i think so)

Two Sixaxis-es
Two X360 controllers (one with plug and charge cable)
Four Wiimotes (two with fat battery covers, two with regular battery covers)
One Nunchuck
One Zapper
One 3rd Party Gun Shell with Nunchuck extension
Couple of remotes (for TV, dvd players, receivers, dvr)
One Bluetooth PS3 remote
One HD-DVD add-on remote
Spare HDMI cable
Component cables
Composite cables
USB cables
Two wiimote battery covers (since they were replaced by the Nyko's fat cover)
Nyko Wiimote charger station
various instruction manuals
One PS3 Eye stand
Eye of Judgment trading cards
Guncon from Time Crisis
Headset for X360
Four Fugly wiimote jackets
Four replacement Wiimote straps
Few rechargeable AA batteries
Maybe a mem card somewhere...

I think that's it...

On top of my TV stand for now. My new apartment had a ledge above the fireplace and the space for the stand is off-center, so my plasma went on the ledge and right now all my controllers and stuff are sitting on the TV stand (with the consoles, DVD player, etc on the shelves)

I have my stuff in a bamboo box I got from Container Store. Then I have the box on the bottom shelf of my coffeee table. I have my 360, Wii, and PS3 controllers in there, as well as a Wavebird and a PS2 controller. I was originally looking at getting a coffee table with some drawers in it, but ended up going with the box instead. I like the way it turned out. I think it looks nice and keeps the living room from getting too cluttered. I keep all my games and movies on a wall of Elfa shelves in my study/computer room, which is just off the living room. I keep most of my older consoles and accessories in some boxes in a closet, right now.

The box I use is similar to this one, but it has a hinged top.

This is the table I have, and I have the box on the bottom shelf, similar to what this picture shows.

Store them? I don't.

I pile them in front of my cabinet.

right now I have all that extra stuff in a box in the closet. The controllers are on top of my consoles. Karaoke mics are in a decorative basket to the left of my entertainment center.

When I had my oldschool game systems I kept big ol rubbermaid storage bins.

Now that I'm down to the Wii/360/PS3/Saturn I went with 2 of these from Bed Bath and Beyond:



Perfect size for holding game controllers and remote controls. I use one drawer just to hold the various remotes (although the Harmony is mostly only used). The rest of the drawers go like this:

PS3 controller drawer
360 controller (and headset) drawer
Wii controller drawer
Misc accessories drawer

How much are those? Are they stackable? Those look perfect.

$12.99 each. I looked all over to find these...most of the storage was either too small or too big. And BB&B has these with black plastic (they sit atop a black DVD shelf), whereas most of the storage tends to white.

When I was in they had them right in the front of the store. Much better organized than the wicker baskets or giant storage I was using before.

I also use a bamboo box. If anyone can think of an unobtrusive place to keep a gigantic toy drum set, I'm all ears.

In a nice little ottoman in the center of the living room. It doubles as a coffee table and usually people don't even realize that it has storage capabilities until told.

Along with the games, in one of those cheapie plastic drawer thingies on wheels. It didn't start of as solely a place to store games and accessories, but now that's pretty much all that's in it.

I can fit all my controllers and stuff into one. I use the other two for ipod/camera/cell phone boxes etc.

When I go home for breaks, I put them all in a cardboard box with the games.

Agreed. But I'd still like the pics.
