If you've ever tried to find a living space in New York City, you'll know that most affordable apartments are tiny.
I live in Brooklyn, and probably pay too much for a 450-square foot apartment. My living room is about 8 x 12 feet; with the couch in there it's even smaller. In that space, I have a 40-inch HDTV, two Xbox 360s -- one retail, one debug -- a PS3, a Wii, my collection of games and a slew of gaming peripherals, among other things like records, toys, books.
I used to have a coffee table, but I thought having plenty of room for "Rock Band" was more important.
To add to my space dilemma, I recently received "Active Life: Outdoor Challenge," which came with the "Active Life mat." To try it, I had to relocate my "Wii Fit" balance board -- right next to three plastic guitars -- and move my couch back to make room for it. That made me realize... I have a lot of gaming peripherals.
Are you having trouble finding space for peripherals, or is this strictly a NYC problem? When is enough enough? I guess it's a good problem to have though... Maybe I just need to move.
