Best Way To Manage Growing Console Clutter?

Posted by simoniker on from the cut-all-the-cables dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Being the owner of several actively-used consoles, I have found myself in a perpetual state of tangled cords and controller 'land mines' when it comes to my living room. With each console supporting four controllers, and a couple of games having their own unique peripherals, this is becoming more and more of a problem. It's not so much that there isn't a place for all of this. as it is that there isn't a place that's visually pleasing, big enough to survive the growing collection, easy to use, and most importantly, cheap. I find myself having to untangle cords or digging through a box/drawer. no matter what solution I try. What have Slashdot readers resorted to when it comes to keeping all of this in check?"

    For someone who is so excited about the prospect of having "real life" experiences, you certainly are wasting a lot of time communicating with people who may or may not exist. Want to share your opinion about what people should be doing with their days? Get off that chair, turn the computer off, and go stand on a soapbox on the street corner.

    Video games are a viable means of entertainment just like movies or music.

    Why do you need all those consoles?

    More consoles == More clutter.
    Less consoles == Less clutter.

    Sell your consoles, buy a bicycle. Get exercise. Get a girlfriend. Go outside, go camping, walking, see the nice blue sky.

    Just don't waste your life playing video games.

    Get a girlfriend

    Seriously, you won't have the time or money to devote consoles. Plus getting laid is better than getting to the end of Final Fantasy

    Yet another anal dwelling butt monkey who opens his mouth and removes all doubt about being an asshole.

    Any money on it this guy's either a 90lb soaking wet geek or the comic book guy come to life.

    Either way, no life outside his little server room. **comic book guy voice** worst slashdot post ever **End comic book guy voice**
