A boom chair is a chair allowing for the sound and vibrations of a handheld or console to be transferred to the speakers and the vibration of the chair and hence provide a better sound and feedback environment for playing of games/music etc.

Boom chairs are available in the US from many retail outlets.

Does anyone know how to purchase one in Sydney?

I remember one of those massage product companies releasing something similar to that about 2 years back. I think it was the Homedics ones. Unsure if they're still made/sold anymore, but they were decent.

If you're looking for something similar to the one in "The 40-Year Old Virgin" then I have no idea.

That might affect his "count" if you know what I mean.

To the OP: If you go to one of the trio stores which stock massage chairs, ask if they have the homedics speaker chair thing, otherwise you could just get one imported from the US

Thanks. Had no money then.

Money is a source of gaming frustration if you don't have any.
