VRX Triple Screen Limited Edition 001 Racing SimulatorWe’ve seen some pretty cool home-made gaming setups like this 200 inch projection with a PS3, but this VRX Triple Screen racing simulator is going to be pretty tough to beat.

VRX was not messing around when they designed this setup. Among a large number of other things it comes with 4 Xbox 360 Elites, 4 copies of Forza Motosport2, an Xbox HD DVD player, Xbox 360 camera, Xbox wireless headset, a Zune, MS Force Feedback Steering Wheel and 3 Sharp Aquos 37″ HD LCD displays. It also has built-in surround sound and vibration feedback to add to the realistic feel, not to mention a beverage holder.

There’s no pricing posted for the 360-integrated triple-screen setup that launched just last month, but you can certainly send them an email to find out.

From the English version it appears that the only down side was that the text in the game was hard to read. This is probably because even the game designers didn’t have a 200-inch monster TV. The PlayStation 3 was connected to the projector via a $1200 US HDMI cable. Oh and by the way, who says everything in Japan is smaller? Apparently the Japanese are sizable where it matters, in the Audio/Video realm of course. What do you think I meant?…
