    Why did you use the word "sofa"? To me and I believe most people the word refers to a seating that holds more than one person. This looks more like a regular chair/recliner.

    Sofa? Not sure if I have room for that next to my gaming dinner table and my gaming coffee table.

    Gotta love marketing. Let’s put “gaming” or “gamer” before the name and charge an extra $100.

    But you need gaming toilet paper to go with it. That way you clear feces 2.5 seconds per square millimeter faster. Make sure the toilet paper holder has RGB that’s Hue compatible.

    This isn't a "sofa".

    A sofa is for 2 or more people like a couch or bed, this is technically a recliner which is really a big padded chair that can "recline" back but isn't suited for 2 or more people.

    This is a fail gamer recliner btw...no aRGB, no buttkicker LFE system, no cup/beer holder , no controller pouches, no Hotas system and lastly no pass through USB plugs/hub......and it tries to call itself a "gamer" chair.....pfff :lol:

    I was out looking two weeks ago for a new chair and was immediately turned off,prices locally here in Canada are insane,250 for utter garbage,$350 for something I still didn't want to sit in.

    The problem is that all these retailers get this stuff made overseas then jack the prices up on us the consumer,so we get the cheap crap at high prices.You have to buy in BULK orders to get the good pricing,you and I can't really do that so these retailers have the market cornered and locked us in on bad pricing.

    Is it fair to compare bulk pricing with retail pricing?Well obviously not entirely fair.

    These smart businesses also do not pay the prices I see,they will design contracts with varied changes and logos etc etc and prices may be yet another 25% cheaper for them.

    Fair,well MOST of the chairs I see pandered around are seriously CRAP,some look reasonably decent but those are typically much higher priced.A "fair" price would be around $250 for a top of the line chair,most of the crap I wouldn't even buy at $50.

    Looking at Secret Labs I was literally shocked at their pricing lol.Their cheap crap that doesn't have ANY bells and whistles is around $550 <<<INSANE pricing.

    I will give yo ua few examples of upgrades that could be created and shipped over here.

    built in speakers,message unit,foot recliner and upgraded material,still a $150 chair and yet we see crap over here at $500 lol.

    Forgot the review of this chair..

    Well PVC "fake leather" is more durable than other fake leather but also less breathable,so I see this as one of those chairs that stick to your legs/butt in the summer.Thisis why you see the perforated holes to allow it to breath and air escape.

    I should add that in the last few weeks I have seen a lot ,like a bus load of SLACK ,how you say it "governing" of regulations here in Canada.it really seems like NOBODY cares about anything,you can label stuff illegally,LIE about your product and even if found guilty nobody follows up to investigate.
    So does it really matter what anyone says about a product when trying to "advertise it"it is likely mostly lies or stretching the truth.
    "high quality pvc"what does that even mean lmao?It is FAKE, it is made up of layers of chemical compounds,there is NOTHING HQ about it at all.

    So typically what will happen with this stuff/material if although PVC is rather durable,the very corners will likely break apart.The arm rests do NOT look comfortable at all.
    The chair looks mostly rigid,the arms the back all rigid stiff,the bottom looks like it could be ok for awhile until the cheap foam compresses lol.

    Does it let you program it to become ice cold and extremely uncomfortable so you can stop playing a game you are addicted to for more than a healthy amount of time?

    Why stop at $300 might as well go for the $2000

    This video makes the irest seem more gamey in case that was a hinderence.


    maybe for SC when it finally releases. ;)

    No space?  You probably need to install the Gaming Floor that adds +500 sq.ft. to any room.  It works better than a left-handed room stretcher, at least for me.

    Just goes to show, other businesses are looking at what people will pay for what passes for a game these days -- early access, alpha access, beta testing.  At least they didn't crowdfund this chair just to collect some marketing information, like what color gamers liked most.

    Lol, just popping in to say that we called it a Sofa because that's what Cougar is naming it. I had the same thought on the title.

    Maybe they meant Sopa. A chair for eating soup.
