Answer 4

My son got one last Christmas.

Dead easy to set up but I personally found it quite uncomfortable so it may be wise to try it out before you buy.

The sound was quite good - very powerful speakers (we paid a hundred quid for it).

Unfortunately it broke and when we returned it had to have a refund as it would appear to be a 'seasonal' gift - they dont sell them past February and I notice they are starting to appear in the shops again.

My son wasn't too bothered with the refund as the cash went toward his PS3 fund!

Answer 5

nope. my hdtv and cheap sofa are good enough for me.

Answer 6

you can try www.craigslist.com

Answer 7

Yeah I got one. They're OK. Not worth more than 60$, you know, unless it's like a real chair thing, but they're pretty good.

Answer 8

yeah, i got a rocker chair from best buy and it is pretty sweet. It takes about 5 minutes to set up at most (just slide the legs onto the seat). I recommend getting the cover for it too cuz it makes it more comfortable. Im 5'10 180lbs and it works fine (there is a strap included that allows for weights over 160 or something).

mine doesnt have speakers in it or anything but i already have surround sound, i just like the comfort. go for it!

btw, you can get a surround sound for around 50 to 100 dollars so if he just wants the chair for the speakers i would get the surround sound instead so you can watch movies and stuff too...
