    I have it all set up in my front room:

    42" Plasma
    Xbox 360/Xbox One
    Dedicated Sub and speakers
    All the usual Sky/Chromecast trinkets
    TX 458 wheel + Ferrari 458 GTE Challenge rim (undecided on the F1 rim at the mo)

    Only the racing wheel gets packed away into the corner when not in use. I have the TX on a racepro stand and they both fold away really well. The rest of the setup is packed quite nicely into a unit. I'm quite an*l about leads and things everything is all nailed in. I never want to move house ever again

    I do have a spare 42" (it's knackered) which lives upstairs and comes down for the F1 races (for live timing and onboard feeds)., which leaves me one tv away from a triple screen set up, I just need to work on my other half more :-)

    I don't often get to start playing until around 10pm as my OH will just moan at me to turn it back onto something equally as cr*p for me to view. It's killed the racing a little for me as by the time I get into it's near on 11pm and I'm done with the 3am crawl into bed on a work night. So at the moment I've kinda just been turning the 360 and playing Halo Reach.

    I'm quite lucky in that my other half has learned their way around the X1 so it's no issue running all our tv/netflix through it.

    I have another slightly weird gaming related thing going on at my house. I keep my telescope (10" dob on an EQ-6 for those who care) outside and I do the manual slewing using an Xbox 360 controller with a specific mod. The thumbstick controller on the 360 controller allows quite precise movement. Run a webcam from the eyepiece into the tv in the front room and browse the heavens from the comfort of the sofa (although personally I much prefer standing outside in the cold seeing it for real).

    How I'mn still married I do not know :D

    Where do you do most of your gaming ?. Is it in the sitting room/lounge, or do you have a set up in the bedroom or in your study ?. and do you game as much as you used too ?.

    Mine is in the sitting room under the main TV. We used to have a PS3 set up in the bedroom (used for watching Blu ray's now and then) but the mrs 'demanded' it be removed and most of my gaming is done on a Sat night from around 9:30 until the early hours of Sun morn (around 5am).
    Your Saturday nights are boring I am sure your Mrs would want to participate in other activities :D

    Just me in the flat, so xbox is connected to the TV in the living room (no other TVs in the flat). Also have a PC in the living room but don't really play games of any nature on it.

    In my bedroom on a entertainment unit.
    I've got the PS4 and PC hooked up to my TV, while my PS3,2,1, SNES and 64 are all set up underneath too.

    Mines in a spare room at the back of the house, its the middle door as you reach the top of the stairs, is that enough info OP? I can provide further details if required and tips on how to circumvent the alarm system. :D

    Mine is in the bedroom ATM but am considering moving it to the study/office and hooking it up to the PC monitor via an HDMI switch.

    I still use the PS3 in the living room as it's still my main gaming machine but will put a Vita TV there when it's released.

    PS4 is in the livingroom, so I just use remote play when the OH wants to watch something on tv, the ps3, xbox one, 360, ps2, xbox, dream cast, mega drive, Atari, n64 & wiiu are all in the games room, which I had to fight long and hard to get. The Mac is in the kitchen/dining room as the OH likes to have spotify on when in there. That's only really used for Football Manager though

    I'm going to get one mate not on launch though will wait a few months. It won't effect my set up much as quite a bit of space for new goodies lol.

    I don't know to be honest, I have Apple TV and a PS Vita so at the minute I can't really justify getting it, unless one of the afore mentioned breaks then I'll get it on launch

    This is my setup in the living room of my static caravan, featuring a 32" Samsung LED TV, XBox 360 slim 250gb, PS4, Nexus 7 and an HP Ultrabook. The whole lot is tethered to a Nexus 5.

    It's a chilli plant and a relative of mine sadly over watered it. >:(

    It's slowly recovering now that I've chopped off most of the branches.

    Nah not for me. I can't justify spending more £ on something that probs wouldn't be used much (same as my PS3/4 at the mo. I'm currently playing thru my backlog of games on the 360)
