[OFFICIAL] Gaming Setups Thread (PC & Console)

I'm trying to decide if I should get a couple of Play and Charge kits or some rechargable batteries. I have four controllers, so I figure 2 play and charge kits and 2 more Xbox 360 Wireless Controller batteries should suffice, but maybe a bunch of rechargable AA batteries would be more cost effective?

Just use regular batteries. No need to deal with all the recharging stuff. You can get, like, a 24 pack of AA batteries for something ridiculously cheap at a place like Sam's Club. That's what I did with my Wavebirds on my GC, and that worked fine.

I was thinking the same thing about the play and charge kits...

Right now I have two controllers both with the rechargable batterys, and one play and charge kit...

So when I get the other two controllers I'll buy one play and charge kit and one battery...

I think thats the best way to do it...

OOOolllaaalalala

360 is hidden shiftyninja.gif

TV is fricckin huge...

Parents dont know I blew my college fund money on the 360 lol

Since my mom got a new job...we are officially in the top 15% of highest earning families (aka rich)

W00t.

uhh that tv doesn't look that big, it's bigger than mine but nothing compared to most of these...

and thanks for letting us know about your MOMs personal finances...

Im just excited for us :) Not too much to worry regarding college etc. And this thing is huge, as in depth. I was expecting it to be much skinnier. Emphasis on the much.

yeah mines like that, about 21inches from front to back, but then again, mines an early 32inch flat CRT

*drools*

Nice setup, I've got a 34 inch SOny CRT widescreen. It looks great but my couch just broke and I had to throw it away, so now i am playing on the floor until Crate and Barrel sends a new one in a month.

thats a really nice setup...well done

Bits are...

Sony HS10 HD PJ ( A Sanyo Z4 on paper would murder my pj and costs about ?1150 - 9ft screen anyone?;)) )

DSPA1 amp.

B&W Speakers all round.

Sweet. Gotta love samsung.

How bright is the unit?

And is that 26 inch? or 30? I cant tell from the pic...maybe its a 34 heh

Not a gamecube fan?

it's actually a 30 inch and the picture quality is quite superb....very bright as well. i actually am a gamecube fan...but i recently removed it to make room for the x360...hehe.

Guy with the samsung and 5500 setup, I have a question for you.

Do you have digital sound through all your consoles? I'm with a similiar setup and as the z-5500's only have 1 optical connection, i'm kind of screwed. I've been thinking a cheap reciever will do the trick, what do you think?

yea i guess you can get a receiver...i personally don't have the space to fit one in my setup. all i simply do is switch the optical cable to whichever console i play...they're all close together and easily accessible, so it's not a problem for me.

    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
