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.

Pricey, but I like it.
Introducing The Tone Ledger, a premium 5x7 inch, 100 pg notebook designed for guitarists, bassists, keyboardists...pretty much anyone who enjoys using amps and pedals. Great for experienced musicians, hobbyists, or students just getting started.

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.
