26" Insignia HDTV
XBOX 360
PS2 Slim
Original XBOX
Genesis 2

With the original PS2, I still have a ton of games to play on that before I even consider a ps3

My 360 is one of the latest models, so hopefully I won't get the RROD. I've had it since Oct '07, and so far, not problems yet.

I also have a PSONE with the screen that's not hooked up..I take that when I travel and I have a NGPC and GBA SP

May get a cheap surrond system eventually

Default Got some pics

I finally took a picture of my gaming setup. Just a little something I put together while working at a pawn shop. Not counting the TV, I paid 499.99 plus tax all the game systems. Check it out.

And here's my awesome collection of DVD which I paid $1 a piece.

my current setup is annoying but hopefully i'll be moving soon and be able to set it up properly in the basement.

42" Samsung HD LCD

360
xbox
dreamcast
sega genesis
sega cd
PS
NES
SNES

i have a pelican adapter hooking them all up but it's not the best... especially for the TV. the tv doesn't have enough composite hookups for me but that'll just cause me to get a new tv when i do move.

I'm at work right now, and don't have a camera, so I shall describe:

40" Samsung 1080p LCD
360 Elite
Wii
PS2 Slim
PC
HDMI DVD upconverter (waiting for price drop on Blu-Ray)
DirectTV HD box

We have a 360 Pro in our bedroom, and our roommate has a 360 Pro as well in his room. Only have a 20" CRT in our bedroom though. Once we buy a house, the Samsung in the living room will go in our bedroom and we'll get a bigger TV for the living room.

I am seeing that a lot of you guys have NES and SNES consoles in your setups. I envy you! I would love to have this kind of set up but I honestly just don't have the space for all these consoles laying around. Besides, both my NES and SNES bit the dust long ago!
I have xbox360 and I know that some of the downloadable arcade games are "oldies" (like, I found contra and paperboy!), but I want more! I want jaws, rygar & indiana jones and the last crusade for NES (yes...I played crappy games when I was 6), and for SNES I want donkey kong country, earthworm jim (1 & 2 preferably), FZero, legend of zelda etc......
I wish that some of these game developers would remake the old games for xbox, ps3, etc. so that we could relive the glory days of bad graphics and 2 or 4 buttons! I would pay....well.....a lot.

Back to the future! I see one of my posts from 2008 back when I had my aging projection TV. Well it's clear why you are posting your link to youtube - to promote your website.
For the record, I don't get your setup - of course you can project your PC to a TV with a VGA cable or adaptor, that's nothing new, but why bother? Why not just buy the Xbox or PS3 version of Skyrim? Plus, you defeat the benifits of a PC. That is - the variability of buttons as compared to a controller. Also, you WILL lose resolution no matter how high you have your PC settings (assuming your PC can handle it, most laptops cannot and then you are lugging a desktop or have 30 feet of wire from your desktop or are deailing with some additional cost wireless setup).

Rock Band 3 Keyboard
Guitar Hero drums
Microphone w/boom stand so I can play guitar and (try) to sing at the same time
Tony Hawk Ride wireless "skateboard"
A tiny 22 in HD monitor

You have an AMAZING setup there scir91onYouTube! I love how sharp your pictures are too.

Here's a somewhat dark video (sorry ) where I discuss my primary gaming area and a few of my retro peripherals.
