Game(s) Room/Man Cave/2nd Spare Room:


screenshot pc

I'm going to put the PS4 in one of the two remaining spaces to the right of the Xbox 360.

The setup itself consists of:

Samsung PN51F5300 plasma. Full 1920/1080 / 60p great for gaming, fantastic picture.
PS3 (Phat launch day console)
Xbox 360 (Launch day premium with the white system remote)
2 PSP's
Nintendo Wii

and some bog standard Logitech speakers. I have a Bose set downstairs but our little one sleeps next door so these do the job well in this room.

If anyone has a suggestion as to how I could hide the wires coming from behind the television set I would be grateful but such is the position of the wires I cant think of one myself.

Update: I set up the Playstation 4 in my games room/2nd spare room yesterday, haven't had much time on it been busy but it's a fantastic bit of kit. I thought I had a problem with the HDMI port at first because I didn't get any picture but it turns out the console just didn't like my HDMI switch for whatever reason, once I plugged it in to the TV's spare HDMI port it was fine.



If you look at my previous set up in this thread you'd see speakers for surround sound on top of the unit, not anymore although they still exist but are now deployed behind the unit.

Tannoy 5.1 surround

these phone pictures dont do it any justice. Still need to replace the old screen, move the projector mount back and relocate the front speakers.

Xbox 360 running component to TV,Optical to AVR also use TBx12's for gaming mostly.
XB1 coming this week. Going HDMI to TV to start but may run it through AVR. Seems like even though it plays back BD video fine it will only pass up to 48khz Audio. No 96 or 192khz. Booooo.

Anyone else run their XB1 through their AVR and watch BD's on it?
