A Closer Look at Playseat

Gaming can be a lot of fun, especially if you are into racing games. When you go to the arcade and play a racing game they have these really comfortable seats that make you feel as if you are in a car. If you want this same experience at home you might consider the Playseats Evolution Seat.

This seat provides you with a top brand company which started in the late 90's. Their factory was located in Holland, but moved to China for cheaper manufacturing in 2002. The company's founder is Dr. Fernando Smit, a racing fan who has actually raced in more than just simulators. He used his vast experience to create the simulator racing seat you can purchase for a little over $300.

The seat as mentioned is a lot like an arcade racing game seat with a special design to make you feel like you are in a car. The front of the seat has a platform for the racing pedals and a stand for your steering wheel. Underneath the seat is a storage area for your gaming consoles and other accessories, which helps you keep your home clean when not playing. The foot rest can be modified to fit most players since it is adjustable. The seat is 52.1x19.7x38.6 inches.

Further details include that the seat will work with most gaming consoles and racing video games. You have adjustable knobs that help you move the platform to where you need it. The construction is also made of steel which keeps it high quality and also stable on the floor.

The gaming seat will work with PC, PlayStation 2, Play Station, Xbox, and GameCube. Children 8 or older will be able to use the seat. Anyone younger might have a problem with reaching the pedals or steering wheel. The platform and seat are all that come with the product. You have to buy the steering wheel and pedals separately from a place like Logitech. This means the real downside of the racing seat is the cost and the need for further accessories.

Despite the cost of the chair and a need for the accessories it is well made and will remain stable on the floor. Roughhousing is going to damage it, but other than that it will hold up for years of play and give you a real car feel while playing games.

When you purchase the Playseats Evolution Seat you will have a few things to put together. The metal box with platform will need to be attached to the seat. During this process you want to make sure the screws are only finger tight to avoid damage. You will also want to have a friend help you to get the platform adjusted to your length for comfort. If you measure the length while sitting you can even ensure that you can get it comfortable again, even after someone else uses it. Other players should do the same thing to help speed up your game playing, especially if you take turns a lot.
