Well, I am thinking about adding to my son's current game system. Christmas is coming and well, the old man enjoys it a little as well.

He currently has a PS3 with a KDL-37L4000 Sony Bravia 37". I thought we would kick it up a notch. Here's what I am thinking

1) Logitech G25 Racing Wheel
G25 Racing Wheel
2) Playseat racing chair.
Racing Chair
3) PS3 Formula One Championship Edition
PS3 F1 Game
4 Polk Audio SurroundBar SDA Instant Home Theater
Polk SDA - IHT

That should be him happy for a little - do ya think?
Michael ;)

    Oh wow. I'm am SOOO jealous. I've been wanting a G25 for so long. Incredible wheel! Combined with a 37" (I use my 21" computer monitor) and racing chair, too....that's awesome!

    However, I would suggest you look into the Obutto racing seat. I haven't seen or used one myself, but I've read a few reviews and watched a few on youtube, and it's a very stable, quality setup. Friend of mine is going to be buying one soon.

    The thing is he does not know they are coming and only asked for a wheel so he could use it on the PC for a game or two. He usually does not ask for much so I figured I might enjoy them a little as well. TWO kids, one BIG and one not so big.

    I think the shipping on the Obutto one would be crazy, unless I can find it is Canada. It does look solid as hell. I found the Playseat with free shipping.
