Renegade gaming chair heading to Australia
posted 22/05/08
The Gaming Collection have announecd that the Renegade Gaming chair, available overseas since last year, is heading to Australia and will be available from June this year.
Compatible with the Xbox 360, Xbox Classic, Xbox Live, PS3, PS2, PS Online, Sony PSX, Nintendo Wii, Gamecube, PC/Mac, Sony PSP, Nintendo DS and MP3 Players, it aims to be the gaming fans dream accessory to their console.
The list sent over lists the following features;
- A fantastic UGC patented 12 motor Game Sync™ vibration system that gives the most authentic shakes and rumbles, out-shaking even the washing machine cycle.
- 3D stereo speakers for an immersive sound experience.
- Ground effects lighting for action packed realism.
- Headphone jacks to keep things quiet when you play into the night.
- Audio out jacks for maximising sound through home theatres.
- Variable massage settings for unwinding after a hard day’s gaming.
- Pull-out compartment for easy storage of games and accessories.
- Beverage and remote control holder - you need never get up again! And don’t worry if you spill anything in excitement - the chairs are made from stain resistant fabrics.
And.. here's a pic!
It sounds good, but would take up a fair chunk of your gaming den floor space, and at $649 (AUD) will take a fair old chunk out of your wallet also. But a high quality office chair would set you back something similar and not offer a quarter of the features of one of these.
We reviewed the Pyramat Game Rocker back in 2006, and while something different, and popular with the little ones around the house, it wasn't something I personally would have found myself comfortable in for extended gaming sessions.
If you had plenty of room, the Renegade could be a welcome addition and I guess anything stain resistant is always welcome also! If you buy one, let us know :-) Shane...
