There are two speakers behind the xmas trees...decorator decided to block them :( Using the PGR3 theme. One of the best looking out of the bunch imo. Anyways components are:

Sony 65" XBR HDTV (720p / 1080i)

Denon AVR-3805

Samsung HD841 DVD Player

5.1 Channel In-wall Surround Speakers

Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

and all my gaming systems (older ones are on the left)

First from the UK I'm guessing, but I'm upgrading my TV in the new year to one of these.

Due to the wide angle of the shot, taken with Panoramic features of the Sony Ericsson k750i camera phone,

view my setup here.

Sound is provided by Technics 5.1 Surrond sound system, TV is a 28" Panasonic CRT EDTV.

It could be just the angle of the phone when the picture was taken, but it looks like your xbox is tipping onto its lleft side. :rofl:

Nice setup nonetheless :)

So this weekend my sub got killed by our frequent power spikes/brown-outs which have been happening lately. Although Klipsch probably would replace it, I instead decided to start the planned upgrade of my speakers with the sub - and replaced the ProMedia Ultra sub with a Klipsch Synergy 12" - I'll have to take some updated pics at some point :)

That sucks. If you have a surge protector from a decent company, they should pay for your new equipment under their warranty.

Yeah it was plugged directly into the wall =/ Won't make that mistake again.

The computers are both plugged into a UPS and everything else is surge protected. I'd meant to get one to the subwoofer but apparently it slipped my mind, until it was too late. I should've known better since I'd had a sub/amp combo go bad from something similar before.

Don't make the same mistake!

damn esco, this is the reason Money can create happiness.

can i come over?

sure! :laugh:

anyways, i'll be posting a new picture of the setup next week. I ordered some nice a/v racks for all my equipment + wireless NES and wireless SNES controllers :woot:

I have NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, N64, Nintendo Gamecube, PS, PS2, Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advanced, Gameboy SP, Nintendo DS, and Dreamcast (which I am proud to say I am VERY unhappy with... :| )

I've been thinking about piling them all up and taking a pic for a sig or something...

EDIT: Oh and by the way, esco, I can see you've got a Gamecube set up there...heh...I'm not a big fan of XBOX, although it does have quite a few nice titles. I also like the design of the 360...very slick.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
