Is it a sleeping bag or a game station?

We've long thought that laziness was a much understood trait. Contrary to popular belief, for example, one can be quite productive while lounging around in one's PJs. To wit: The Yamada Action Lounge SR4 is a multimedia mat that allows you to spend "hours and hours of gaming, movie and music entertainment" in supine comfort, with stereo speakers and subwoofers built into the headrest.

And lest you think the Action Lounge encourages anti-social behavior, be aware that up to eight mats can be connected to the audio output. We think of it as sort of a cross between the Roccaforte game desk and the La-Z-Boy Oasis.

Are we getting lazier and lazier?

If you have nothing more to do than to just lay around and need all this retro junk around you, then you're the person to buy this.
Otherwise, I think it's a waste of well spent money; but then the inventor of this will most likely make a nice profit from people who think they really need this or the elites who want to prove a point...they can buy anything to make themselves seem better than the commoners.

I think this might be nice occasionally but I'd be more likely to enjoy it just listening to a good Pink Floyd CD with it "wrapping me with sound".

this maybe good to have a if your friends or associtates have one. The party can get very crazy with everyone playing their own music! This could be good for those who are seen holding up the wall now they can lay down instead of hold up the wall!
