Hey everyone, I know the Wii isn't out yet, obviously. But I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone's entertainment set-ups look like PRE Wii.
Here's mine but mind you, my studio is still under construction and the TV in these pictures is now replaced with a 32" Vizio HD LCD. I will post new pics when I get more studio equipment and the Wii.

^^This is what I see from my hide-a-bed couch: a 27" tube TV. It's nothing special, but it's got a pretty nice picture and, oddly enough, it has component inputs. I've got my trusty Xbox and newly aquired PS2, which I got free from my cousin. I plan on moving the TV and consoles off that gray stand and into the built-in space that's right behind it as soon as I can; the built-in is too shallow for the TV so I'll have to make a little extention-table.

^^Here's my couch and behind it on the wall you can see I've got the two rear speakers of my cheap but good $200 Sony 5.1 system mounted to the wall, which I really like.
Yes, the ceiling is only about a foot or two higher than my head and it slants at an angle from both sides. You can also see my custom Fender Showmaster electric that I got from my uncle last Xmas.
I really like all the naughty pine walls; makes me feel like I'm back in the 70's even though I wasn't alive during that time.
I hope to sooner or later get a better sound system and of course, a nice LCD TV, although since my TV is only like 5 ft. from my couch, it's not really necessary.
Gosh, I had a 20" iMac G5 too, for a time; what a great computer. I decided I wanted a laptop, so I sold the iMac on eBay and made a profit which I used to get a 15" PowerBook G4. They had just released the MacBook Pros, but I didn't want to risk getting a laptop that might have bugs which they inevitibly did. It's funny, that laptop cost around 2 grand, which is about as much as what I payed for everything in my room.
Glad to have another Mac user here; Represent Mac Power!

40" Samsung LCD Screen with the usual extras; Surround Sound System, Sky+ Box, DVD Recorder and .45 Scale Master Replica Lightsabers, with the added bonus of unsightly wires which need hiding!

They are in my game room in my basement along with my Star wars collection, I have some pics of that stuff when I was unpacking it when I moved into my new house if anyone is intersted...
And just because I am a gamer and have collected games and consoles my whole life does not make me a "rich bastard", Dude you don't even know me.
I am CIO of the second largest General contracting Firm in the US. I work my ass off, and when I do have free time, I play game, usually. I have a life, I'm engaged to an amazing woman, who BTW loves gaming too...

This guy has No life lol!
And I can't see how you can really appreciate a game when you have so much going on? I play mariokart on my ds quite a bit and a few other titles - but I wouldn't have the time to own an x-box360 ps3 and a wii. Wouldn't have the time to play all the games? You must live for computer games?

LOL, I actually do have a life... I wish I had more time to actually play the games, more than I do, but I get an hour here and there. I don't sleep, have insomnia, I honestly get somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 to 12 hours of sleep a week, have been like this since I was about 9. So that help in the Time department a bit.
I have loved computer games, and console games since I was very young, the day my father brought home my first Atari 2600 I guess. I had always dreamed of starting my own Gaming company... And I am actually taking the steps to make that dream come true. I have a fairly small design team and we are working on our first tile... I don't want to say much at this point, but it is actually based on a movie that I loved from when I was young, Mid 80's... But we are looking at a release in late 07, early 08 if het hit any more hicups. Licensing was a bear etc...
So yes, I love games...
