    Was in PC World Sligo today and saw that they had console chairs (like the xbox rocker and such) for 39.99. Price before Christmas was 139.99.

    I know 3 people who bought an X Rocker and all 3 returned them.. reasons include:

    a) they're extremely uncomfortable.
    b) the sound out of it is incredibly average.
    c) most of them are only compatible with standard AV connections - not HDMI.

    Just to give people a quick opinion.

    If it's the one I'm thinking about (it's a small grey one that I'm thinking about) then I haven't tried it. I have tried the bigger version that's wireless and it is uncomfortable. There seems to be a board in a terrible location in them. No idea if this one suffers from that. The black leather ones don't thankfully.

    Never listened to the sound but I don't imagine it would be brilliant on this model given the price.

    Yup. If you're hooking console up to the tv over hdmi then you won't get sound through the x rocker if you connect it to the console. I think it should get sound if you connect it to the tv but I'm not 100% on that as I have never tried it. It's an educated guess at best.

    Oh! Thanks for the heads up Basquille, maybe I might think again about that trip to PC World!
