I recently saw Disturbia and in the movie the lead character is playing his 360 in one scene and he is sitting in a gaming chair. It looked really comfortable, but I wanted to get other peoples opinions before I just went out and bought one. If there is a certain one that you like post which one that is.

Thanks! :)

Thanks for the feedback. I was also concerned about sitting low and having to look up at the TV.

I would never buy a "gaming" chair. Just sit on the sofa or something.

Either a sofa or computer chair works for me. I'm a big guy, so I can't squeeze down to sit comfortably in those chairs.

My console is in my bedroom, and I have a gaming chair (I got it cheap :P ). It was either that, or sitting on the floor. And yes, they are very comfortable, just don't spend too much money on one...

i got my gaming chair for 20 quid. it is a rocker x and they are really comfortable. the sound quality on it is really good. the only bad thing about it is that when you fold it, it is actually bigger when not folded. hope this helps...

No. They tend to include cheap speakers to give a surround sound effect, hence why their gaming chairs. You'ld be better off with a proper surround setup and a couch.

I have been using these style chairs for about 12 years. Before they were "gaming" chairs. They were just uncomfortable cheapo rockers haha, but I preferred sitting low to the ground. Everything in the room is low. TV and PC are on 20" stands. I even had to custom build a table/desk to get the height that I wanted. I don't play that many games honestly, but I spend plenty of time working on art projects, and I find the floor can be used like a big desktop that I can sit in the middle of. Anyways, not everyone is buying these for the novelty, ya know? I haven't bought a new chair in a few years, but it is well overdue. I was shocked to see the improvements made to these chairs, until I realized they all come with f'n speakers. I don't want speakers, I don't want to plug things in, it's a chair, I want to sit. I have a real decent sound system in the room already. But they look MUCH more comfy than the one I am sitting in right now... I hate having to pay for the electronics, but considering how much I use these chairs, if one in comfy I'd buy it. Has anyone owned the X Rocker Pro? or the X Rocker II? for an extended period of time? I am not interested in hearing about your Lay-z-boys or leather sofas, I own both, but they are in my living room.

I am actually very specific about what chair I play my 360 in. (wii or pc doesn't matter)

It's this old old blue rocker that has a huge hole in it. I can't seem to find another one like it. You can balance and play perfectly on it and it always bounces back up if it falls down.


I have this one:

but it's too small and low to the ground making it very uncomfortable.

I dont want an expensive high tech ones, but the normal ones are all too small.

I haven't found one that fits and I'll need to start searching cuz the old one will give up soon.

Anyway..

If you find one you like buy it!

Really the only kind worth getting are racing chairs if you're really into racing games. Other than that, no.

Some of them look really neat, but some of them look completely stupid and useless. I wouldn't buy one of those rocking chair ones, those just look like they'd be a world of trouble. I'd personally either get a massive papasan chair with a really thick futon, or one of those gigantic adult beanbag things that are marketed as sex furniture. They look comfy as hell for just sitting on.

I have a gaming chair, and at one point I sat it in a rocking chair, so that I wouldn't be looking up at my TV during games. Now I sit in a big boy chair.

there doesn't really seem to be much point in getting one unless you've got money to waste. I'd probably just put the money into a decent regular chair and speakers.

I can only speak for myself, but these rocker chairs are quite multipurpose for me. An office chair would be limited to gaming/PC use. I use the gaming chair for hours a day, mostly non-gaming related activities. I would have to buy/build some kind of massive wrap around desk for an office chair to work, which would be awesome, but not practical. I am probably going to buy that X Rocker Pro, just wish they offered a version without all the electronics. Probably only an "$80" chair with $20 worth of electronics marked up to $160...oh well.

I have an X Rocker, and it's extremely comfortable. Easily one of my favorite chairs. Sounds pretty good too.

For racing sim junkies? The answer is obvious.
