    Default Portable Sim Chair for Console setup

    Does anyone know of a good option for some type of portable chair, like a racing chair that could be set in the middle of a living room and used for a console like an XBOX 360 or PS3? and portable enough to be moved out of the room after each time you play? I want to start using a wheel for some of my XBOX games -- and would love to have a racing chair of some sort, but the requirement is that it be portable or break down easy so that it's not cluttering up our living room all the time.

    David

    THINK i am gonna order one of those chairs.... all i need to make is a monitor stand though....most likely make it out of pcv pipe like Bob Dunlops cockpit
    now they do have a shifter attachment...but it seems so low...was thinkin to add something and extend the right side of the wheel plate and put my shifter there...hmmm
    after researching so many...its the best deal...i have asked a guy here to make one for me and it would cost almost the same and i still would have to get a seat..... I hope its steady enough though

    John try ordering it from the PlaySeat store. You can go here
    http://www.playseat.com/

    IF they can't sell you one ask for their Canadian Distributor. I am thinking of buying one as well.
