I like to sin on a couch Cool Face

Seriously now. I can't play any games from the couch. If it is 360 or pc, I have to be no more than 1 meter from the screen. I have 22' for which I have my 360 and pc connected and its the only comfortable way.

I have 32 inch hdtv and 42bravia in living room and Ive tried connecting console to them and playing but no luck. I just can't get to immerse and "feel" the game. Also I cant concentrate on little details and text, tho my eyes are good and I see everything sharp.

Details on consoles? Reaction Laughing

Connect a PC to the TV and play Witcher 2 or even Crysis (1) at the native 1080p resolution. You will notice a lot of detail. Wink

Maybe.... I have a pair of glasses made couple of years back but they are still good.
Seriously. This feels awful and its a big problem to me. i am proboably to used to play games in front of my screen for 15 years of pc gaming. 1,5meters in couch shouldnt be too much for 22'lcd I think and yet I cannot play like this:P Maybe I should force myself and I will use to it?

Are you sure? Are these not the Monkey Island games that were released on PSN?

Hmm ok I think I thought this was 'Tales of Monkey Island' ...
