I love this product. It serves it’s purpose extremely well. I hated the mess that the Rock Band instruments made. Could have been a bit wider, because the front of the drums get caught sometimes.

I love this product. It serves it’s purpose extremely well. I hated the mess that the Rock Band instruments made. Could have been a bit wider, because the front of the drums get caught sometimes.
This feels and looks like a quality product. Great for storing the gear but easy to get to it when it is time to rock.
I thought you’d be able to adjust the height of the drum set-you can’t. It’s basically just a nice storage box. Ours had a hump in the middle of the top…uniformly shaped but odd looking-don’t know if that was a flaw or what. Think I’ll contact the company.
We bought this unit to hide our gaming equipt. and house the drum kit for rock band. It has worked great in both aspects. The only downside is that the posts that the drums mount on were bent out a bit and were also a bit too big to slide on the drums easily. My husband bent the poles back in and then we used wd40 to slide the drums on fully, which is a must b/c if they aren’t fully seated on the mounting poles the top will catch on them (something that others have complained of in other reviews). Otherwise everything is working great and all our stuff is stored in one spot finally!
I had been eyeing the Rock Box for quite a while, as when it initially came out I thought
it was a bit spendy. Since then it has come down quite a bit in price. I finally caved
and bought it and was pleasantly surprised.
About Me: I typically play drums on hard and have a tendency to play the kit hard.
The regular rock band 2 kit has a tendency to drift on me, which I counter with a rug
and some hand weights.
The Rock Box is solidly constructed, and very easy to transition into drumming with. You can’t
really tell from the description on this, but the lid doesn’t come off, its on hinges that allow
it to slide forward, which i really liked since it kept everything together. One weird item not shown
in the picture is this odd thin pad that velcros to the bottom of the ottoman which is supposedly meant
to form a seat with the lid of the box. I dont see the point of this, and have put the pad in the basement.
Pros:
* Smart design, easy to take out and put away even for a lazy person like myself.
* Lots of room for other equipment, i put my two guitars, mic, mic stand in there
with no problems.
* Leather looks fine. I with they had it in the dark brown like it was originally advertised, but I
will get by with black.
* Special slots for guitars make it super easy to access them.
* No more instrument clutter!!!
Cons:
* This probably needs to be used like a coffee table considering its size, but the top is not
super firm. I’m shopping for a serving tray so that i could put drinks on it without them tipping over.
* Wooden feet could use rubber on the bottom to reduce kit slide and also to not scuff my wood floors.
* That extra seat pad thing is pointless.
* Although my mic stand fit okay since it was a straight pole, there wouldn’t be a way to fit a boom
mic style stand.
* Still need to solve the kick pedal not being attached issue. As long as it is directly in front of
me its fine, but it tends to drift when off to the side. Might buy an after market replacement.
* Will not fit the add-on cymbal kit (rock box lid doesn’t want to close with those attached. I hated
the add-on cymbals anyway, so this was not a problem for me. But if someone came out with add on cymbals that easily detached there is plenty of storage space for them.
I am impressed with the quality of this chair. The frame is very solid and the chair is very comfortable. Totally adjustable, I would buy it again.
I read lots of reviews that said the Playseat Evo was worth the $299 price, and I have to agree. Sure, I would love to pick one up at $199, or even $149, but I certainly feel like it’s worth $299 after putting it together and adding a G25 wheel. Very comfortable seat, and high quality construction. I highly recommend. If the price ever does drop again, I’ll pick up another one to add some flight controls to for flight sims.
This is a great product. Very easy to assemble with a multitude of wheel and pedal positions. Very comfortable seat and super cool looking. I have an Xbox 360 steering wheel, I did not purchase the adapter plate and you do not need it. The zip ties that are supplied with the chair are sufficient to attach the wheel and pedals to the frame. Don’t waste your money. The construction is very solid. I weigh in at 225lbs. and there is no wobbling at all. I race every night and when I’m done I find myself still sitting in the chair watching tv, it’s that comfotable. Before I forget my cat digs it to. When I get up she jumps in after I’ve warmed it up!! If your looking to make an investment in a racing chair you can’t go wrong with this one!
I was a little skeptical about the quality, I’m 193 cm tall and 240 pounds (113 kg) and I’m not the most gentle driver. My biggest concern was that the construction would be too flimsy and the whole thing would wobble or bend. Once I was using it I was positively surprised, it more solid than I thought. Yes it moves a little, but it doesn’t take you out of the game at all.
The adjustments for different drivers is easy enough and quick. Even my 7 year old can drive in it comfortably. With some extra padding you can make it work for even younger drivers.
This sear is designed for the Logitech G25 wheel. There are holes and screws for the G25 so installing it was super easy. Overall the whole assembly didn’t take very long.
The seat itself is very nice and comfortable and seems solid enough even for my size and weight. It folds in the middle for easy storage, but don’t expect too much, even when folded the whole setup is pretty large.
The driving experience with this seat and the Logitech G25 is just pure joy. I have finally found the right setup and I think this combo gives you a very good price/performance ratio. I have tried much more expensive seats that were in no way better. If you are into race games this is the thing to have!
A few words about accessories. The gear shift holder is a must have for the G25. The seat adjust rails are a waste of money. They don’t work properly but you don’t really need them anyway. Between drivers you’ll have to adjust the pedal distance and steering wheel plate anyway so the gliding seat doesn’t add anything.
The carpet is also not really useful. It’s pretty narrow and I don’t see the use of it if your room has a carpet floor already. If you have hard wood floor (like I do) just use adhesive felt pads and you are all set.
I bought my Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat back in 2007 around the time that Forza 2 came out for the Xbox 360. I also purchased the Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless racing wheel. I also own a PlayStation 3 and a Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel that I have used with the seat.
I can’t recommend this seat for the following reasons:
1. The included “seat” that gets mounted to the whole thing is very cheap and not even close to a real car seat. It comes “folded up” and you basically unfold the back section. Because of this, there is a metal rod that runs across right where my backbone hits the chair. Since this is a “cheap” chair, it does not have very good lumbar support and after a few races my back really begins to feel the metal rod.
2. The steering wheel mount is designed to pivot up and down, but it is very hard to get the bolt tight enough to keep it from pivoting up and down when you’re actually using the seat. Occasionally you’ll have to yank up on your wheel to pull this mount back into position.
3. Wheel support & Nickle and Diming. The Xbox 360 racing wheel I purchased with the seat didn’t mount well and I had to hack together a solution using some foam material (craft store) and particle board. Eventually I made it work. Since I bought my seat, I see that Playseats has introduced a 360 wheel mount solution (for extra money) as well as seat rail sliders, stick shift holders, etc. For $300 all of this stuff should be included. Especially with how low quality the seat actually is.
The Xbox 360 pedals work fine w/ the pedal mount if you jam them back under the lip which causes some scuffing and wear to the pedals. The Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel works well with the steering wheel mount but there is no reasonable way to attach the pedals. I don’t believe zip-ties and velcro are an acceptable mounting solution (though PLENTY are included).
4. This may come down to personal taste, but, the between the legs design results in a very flimsy, unstable feel to the whole thing.
As some other reviewers have mentioned, I also wondered if I received a “used” product. My box was very badly damaged (but everything inside was okay).
If you can pick this up for $150-200 and are willing to put some work into it (replacing/fixing the seat rod issue, welding the steering wheel mount so it doesn’t pivot, etc) then it might be a decent value.
this game really got me into ncaa football and its one of my top ten favs of all time.
The bad thing about the game is most of the time when you dive and hit the quarterback he wont go down.They also need to make better offensive plays.The good things are that you can create your own player and put him on wat ever team you want him to be on. Also when you run the option you usually get alot of yards. I recomend this game if you are someone who wont get frusterated if you miss alot of tackles.
