I’m fortunate enough that I don’t have to worry about a wife that doesn’t like my video games to be sitting with my cable box under the TV. I couldn’t imagine having to go get my Xbox 360 and hook it up every time I wanted to play a game, only to unhook it and put it away some time later. I’d probably spend more time setting it up/removing it than I would actually playing it. However, for those guys (or girls) who have a significant other that isn’t down with your gaming habits, here’s a cool piece of furniture that will gladly hide your gaming goodies.

The Jump Seat is a rather ordinary-looking ottoman that is made from leather and other high-quality materials, and will likely blend in with any of your other living room furniture. The top lifts up to reveal a great storage area that will hold a modest gaming collection. My guess is that it will hold a single console along with a couple of controllers and several games. A massive collection involving multiple systems probably won’t fit. Your best bet is to convince him/her to at least allow you to leave the console out and hooked up, as most at least play DVDs. However, if you’re Rock Band player like me, you’re out of luck here.

The Jump Seat will be officially unveiled at CES which is coming up rather quickly. Expect pricing and availability to show up in the next week or so.
