Portable Sim Chair for Console setup

[davidan]

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.

I use the Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat (White with Silver) in the same application you are looking for.Works great. I got mine at Amazon.com for $200 with free shipping after their rebates . that was back in Jan

i really like that seat Sam...now i can move my rig in my bedroom and my wife wont feel alone i showed her it and she likes it...
gonna explore it more

[johnfatboy]

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

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