Sony PS3 - 500Gb
Sony Bluetooth NFC Remote
Sony Active 3D Glasses (x4)
Bluray 3D Titles (Men in Black III, Amazing Spiderman)

Still deciding whether I'll setup the free HTiB.

Gonna relocate the old Kinect Sensor too, doesn't really work that low. The new Kinect sensor works fine down there.

Wow! Congrats sir!

Any comments on the graphics between the 360 and One?

Congrats on the 55w904a. Ganda nyan! Sobrang baba ng input lag for gaming!

@mykel18,

Comparing NBA2K14 (since I have both 360 and One versions)... there's a big graphic improvement. Plus the one version fixes a lot of annoyances with the controls. Like rebounding...the new controller is lighter, but has two more haptic motors. I would have preferred the triggers to be as heavy as the old ones, though. Then again, I've had my fair share of finger cramps from long driving races with the 360 controllers.

@xgh0st12x,

Thanks.

Honestly, I was swayed to the Bravia because of the freebies ( LOL )... later ko na lang nalaman na maganda pala ng feature set nito. Even played Candy Crush and Simpson's Tapped out during the testing at the appliance store by mirrorcasting.

Thanks for that comment sir. Sold my 360 na hoping to get the One once price stabilizes na. Since there is a big graphic improvement naman then it'll be okay to pay a premium (need to convince the wife nga lang).

I better share my other gaming setup

My 2013 PC Gaming Rig

The updates for this one happened earlier this year.

Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH
Intel i7-3770K
Corsair Platinum Dominator DDR3 1866C9 16Gb

Triple LG2442V Monitor Setup

Custom Watercooling (GTX360 BlackIce GT radiator, MCP-355Pump, Swiftech Apogee GTZ, EK Blue Coolant)

Powered by ASUS GTX680 4Gb DCII x 2 in SLI configuration

Racing w/ a Logiteh G27 and MS Xbox360 Controller

Other Stuff onboard:

Crucial M4 256Gb mSata SSD
OCZ Agility 3 120Gb SSD
Samsung 1Tb Spinpoint F1 HDD
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD x 2
Samsung Bluray Optical Drive
Klispch GMX2.1 Speakers
G700 and G3 A4Tech Keyboard and Mice
Coolermaster 800W M2 PSU

Network:

Buffalo NAS (1Tb for direct Samba or DNLA sharing/Torrent server)
Buffalo WZR-300NH Wifi
Buffalo 8port GigE switch
Linksys 2800 8-port GigE switch
Tenda WD300 DSL modem and Wifi-N AP

and I guess that's all of it that's related to the gaming setup and network.

* Oh, before i forget, my old 'FALCON' Xbox 360 and HD-DVD Drive sits underneath the tabletop and is attached to the middle monitor... so I also play the 360 here.

I might move the HD-DVD to the other setup though.

@Louie_18, Courage, Thanks!

Nelson de Leon · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 09, 2013 at 07:42 PM »

Wow!!! Congrats ha! Simula pa lang yan. What more after a few months, baka madami nang napalitan dito sa mga list of gears specially for HT. Ang sarap pa naman palitan yun center speaker ng wharfs din na 3-way.

Pagnag-simula na ang mga mangkukulam dito, yare ang TS. Hehe!

jh@meeh · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 09, 2013 at 07:52 PM »

^ Sinimulan mo na nga

bravoexo · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 11, 2013 at 01:07 PM »

@Nelson, lol. Salamat. Was already at Spectra yesterday asking about a center and a sub.

Gino · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 11, 2013 at 01:18 PM »

Wow. Playseat na lang kulang.

bravoexo · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 11, 2013 at 01:42 PM »

@Gino, yup. I've been reading if the Playseat challenge will be enough for me (coz I like that i can fold it away.) and it's like 10k. The Evolution-M style are 16k, while the newer models are 19k.

Gino · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 11, 2013 at 02:14 PM »

My buddy and I made our own playseat frames. He used a Subaru seat. I used a Boomshark gaming seat. We drove F1 with paddles so we didn't put shifter mounts. I get dizzy driving sims so the ver 2 I planned was put on the backburner.

I also have a friend who's into gaming. He ended up using a projector as a monitor for a more immersive experience.
