Well? Whats your favourite position when playing games on your PS2, or any other console? Sounds like a wierd question i know, but there is a reason i ask...

I have always found, especially when playing Pro Evo, that i have to sit up on my bed, or in the seat im sat on to really concentrate on the game, and that if i slouch back in my chair, or lay down and play, i just cant play the game as good, and cant concentrate on it, and more often than not, i will lose on the likes of Pro Evo. So for hours on end i have to sit up straight playing until my back aches. I suppose in the long run its better for my back that im not slouched in my chair...but its not the idea comfortable position to be playing on the PS2 for a few hours.

Anyone else find this? Or something similar?

T+F was button bashing and timing. doesnt sound like much but there was skill involved

Never played a button bashing game. Less about skill...

i think its better to button bash while sitting up. on int. track and field i always sat up and beat everyone. except that the stupid vault damn that event. i think its very restricting to not sit on a chair of some kind. lying on the floor is bout to be restricting and will give you crippling neck pains after a while

I agree. I popped in here because it was one of the rare threads that didn't have the number 2, 4 or 5 in its title :)

The only game I have a different position for is Athens 2004. It's impossible to buttonbash on your lap, so I lie face down on the floor, with the controller in front of me, and pummel!

Used to sit on my bed cross legged but then my legs used to get pins and needles so had to lay down on the bed with pillow under head to prop it up.

Now in new house, PS2 in cabinet and the same used to happen, sit on floor cross legged until P and N and then lean against the door.

Can't lay flat resting on arms as I haven't got any

Ahem

Laying on front resting on arms causes my arms to get P and N so I can't win, I'm forever changing position.

Just lately got myself a nice leather chair so sit in that now :)
