Has anyone had any experience with this racing chair?

I'm considering this chair as a more economic means of attaining a sit-down driving experience. It's called the Sim Racer 4000, and it's from Home Simulator Company. I would use it with my existing TV, sound system, and Xbox. It folds up for storage, which is good seeing how I'm still catching flack for the fridge-sized arcade machine sitting in our basement :)

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Dude, it's in your basement. Tell her she's a woman, and that such a place is beneath her.

Haven't tried it, but seems very pricey, considering it doesn't come with a wheel OR 5.1 speakers.  Other than the rumbler, looks like one of those "gaming rocker" seats on a frame.
