    Review :: Slouchpod Interactive XT - Interactive Gaming Chair

    The Slouchpod Interactive XT is a new interactive multimedia chair that's just hit the UK market. Out of the box, the Slouchpod comes complete with everything you need to plug in a multitude of media devices, from your iPod to your PC.

    I've had it in my home for the last three weeks, testing it out from a gamer's perspective.

    That looks like one massively overpriced bean bag, and bean bags are already massively overpriced.

    I think for that price I'd rather get a nice 5.1 speaker system from someone like Logitech and make myself a bean castle with the dosh left over. Does sound pretty cool though.

    Bean castle....now thats a cool project.

    Looks interesting but I have a decent audio set up at home already so dont think I`d use the speakers in the chair.


    Beancastle does sound cool veles

    I would think that people who can spend £300 on a chair would already have a nice home cinema system. Then the chair is just a fancy bean bag....

    I would prefer a similar product with storage and no sound system.

    The Original Gamer is going interactive.

    I have been testing this chair for rucomfy.co.uk for the past 7 Months,Its got the lot. Unfortunately it will not be available until August But i have been informed it will be a lot cheaper than other products. See the link below but this is only the original not the interactive.
