Gaming seats or playseats, are the next best thing for game players to a real Ferrari or whatever it is that gets in yer blood, and a great idea that plugs any gamer driving fan into the dead center of the action. No more crouching on the edge of a bed or sofa, Xbox or PS3 in hand, dropping your drink or popcorn, and falling on the floor when you inadvertently lean for a corner in the middle of Gran Turismo.
A gaming playseat consists of a portable, self assembled, rugged tubular steel frame that sits on the floor or perhaps a platform of your own design, in front of your monitor. A comfortable, form fitted rally style car seat bolts securely to the frame, and a post and platform sticks up between the knees. The game playing console can attach to this platform, or you can real get wild and bolt on an electronic gaming steeing wheel, fit for a racing car. The seat works with every game console, including Nintendo, the PlayStation One and Two, Game Cube, PCs, Xbox and more.
Around the frame there are usually a zillion pre drilled holes to attach some fairly groovy, high class accessories.
Popular playseat accessories are;
· an electronic game steering wheel
· foot pedals, just like a real car.
· gear shifters
· and even deep bass vibrators or shakers to simulate ‘on the road’ vibrations and sensations.
Sitting in the seat, or more correctly, in the cockpit, surrounded by steering wheel, pedals and gear levers, the game player can immerse him or herself as completely in the driving experience as possible without getting into a 200 mph sports car, or a wild and crazy Baja off roader, and all without the risks and dangers.
Serious gamers who compete against others often use the added realism to boost their skills and reduce their driving times. Playseats classic and playseats evolution are usually fully adjustable for driving, and flying, maniacs from the age of eight and up to tall adult size.
Game playseats are the home grown version of flight simulators, designed to immerse the driver in the experience of driving, usually at 200 mph around the streets of Monaco or the back streets of Los Angeles and New York. Maybe every teenager should get one instead of a real car to hone their driving skills.
The real teenager would get both, and something tells me the teenager in all of us would just love it.
Just take a look at what’s available to customize a playseat these days…
