I was looking at one of these at best buy and they seem pretty cool. It was set up with PGR3 and the extra sounds and rumbling really added to the experience. I'm thinking about getting one but I have a few concerns.

How durable are they? The rumble feature seems like it would be something that would break or wear out over time (quickly?).

If you already have a 5.1 sound system and put the chair in the middle of the room how would the they sound together?

It was perfect with a racing game but what about other types of games?

So, anyone out there have exp. with one?

I have one, but I have a home theater system now and honestly, I don't know how to connect this to work with the home theater system. Also, I doubt it would sound good with the speakers from the home theater. I'm sure it would sound really bad. However, if you use it solely with your TV and 360, it sounds good and the rumbling is cool and it has not gone bad at all. Its durable, but quite heavy compared to other rocker chairs. I recommend it if you don't have a home theater ... then again, I really don't know how it would sound along with the HT (can't sound good though from what I understand).
