I thought I'd seen some pretty pimp setups until we caught a glimpse of this guy's place. Featuring 35 amplifiers, 37 speakers, and a wealth of sources and processing devices, the room you see here looks more like a meeting of the Magi in Evangelion than it does a home theater. That dog looks pretty comfortable, though.
Youd think that a guy with enough money to put something like this together (not to mention money enough to own a standalone Blu-ray player in addition to his PS3,) would have shelled out a few extra bucks in order to supplement this haven of sensory delight with more than one gaming console. Don't get me wrong, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't love to hang out in there long enough to play through a good RPG, (if such a thing existed on the PS3) but as I always say about gaming rigs: lack of Dreamcast = instant fail.

Seriously, if that set up wasn't designed for Rez HD, I don't know what is.
THEY HAVE DISCOVERED HAVEN!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, all that and no SNES? What the fuck?
It's ultimate. Maybe they're wireless. And as for more amps, an amp only has so many channels. The multiple amps are necessary, not superfluous.
Still, that's over the top.
Also, I forgot to add that the dude had a Laserdisc player listed as one of his connected devices. LOL.
Laserdisc and no Dreamcast? WTF? You need to set this man straight.
DO WANT!
The lack of wires is probably due to them adding and removing speakers and components for different types of setups.
But oy, if the fella can afford it - and obviously he can - then I say kudos to him and I hope it was really worth it! I don't think I can be told how that feels to sit in such a seat watching a movie. So until the day comes that I am able to, I can only imagine.
Though, personally feeling. Maybe there shoulda been a couple extra seats? You ask me, such a setup demands to be enjoyed by a group of good friends and some popcorn. It looks a bit.... Inaccessible the way it is.
If it was they would have a Sony Pictures movie on the screen. It's not fake, just eccentric.
How can this exist when people are dying and stuff?
I may have to sacrifice both my legs to play Everyday Shooter on that baby! and then I can kick back relax and watch DMC4 install....
it cost him close to a million dollar and he built it as a demonstration of his skill and is now hoping to sell a few of these babies, conveniently however, he lives at his 'showroom' so he gets to use it the whole time :-)
it is NOT fake :-)
That's going to sound echo-y and have a shitload of reverb drowning out the sound. Yuck. 10 minutes of any action sequence in that room and your ears will be bleeding from all the high frequencies.
No sound proofing = poor sound design for such a setup.
Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all night.
Also, I agree with dvddesign.
