how is the "racing the last endurance race..." -picture, a sad setup? since he's waiting to get GT4, its clearly the time of the PS2, and therefore there are no HDTVs around. considering that, its a damn good setup!

Some of those set ups arent really sad. Some look pretty normal. Not everyone has HDTVs.

eh a few of them were actually kinda nice. especially the one with the guy playing GT3. the whole steering wheel setup was kidna stupid, and he had a crappy little chair but he probably just used it when he had thats steering wheel thing out. otherwise hes got a pretty damn amazing setup there imo. idk im a nerd so.. yeah.

Wow, that's BAD. I was in the same boat 4 a long time though. Bought a 60gb launch PS3 over an HDTV. But now I have my Bravia, so everythings great!

I think the title Saddest is really lame and elitist sounding. Millions of people don't have HD or the perfect room to game in but the above gameing rigs look cozy and unique. If you think they are sad then you must be spoiled.

- July 26, 2009 5:27 PM
lol... Mines like the second one except slightly worse. I love the one thats in a basement and you can just see the remains of a tv dinner thing all over the floor.

Yikes! Some of these are a bit scary e.g. the one with all the anime dolls, or with the speakers hanging off wires O.o

I used to live with a dude with a ps3 and massive tv. Thank god Sony still support my little old ps2. its so small you cant even see it behind a milk crate leg.
And it still has the best burnout game on it

LOL!!! I actually do that first setup when I travel. Most hotels nowadays won't let you plug in to their TV's.

wow and to think I was on the same boat a few years ago, I completely understand these guys. Not to be a complete ass, but now I sport a 52" Samsung, Ps3, 1300watts 7.1 sorround sound. I still need a comfortable couch though, but hey thats why I bust my ass at work.

Dude, Picture #3 is pure awesome. I can't find anything sad about having a slew of great retro consoles and rare games. I did not even know there was an Ogre Battle 64! Also, he/she has the SNES Game Genie. For the win!
