What gift would you give an avid gamer for Christmas?  The answer seems obvious, doesn’t it – video games!  Alas, it’s not that simple.  An avid gamer probably already owns every game that’s worth owning, or else other friends will come up with the brilliant idea of giving him games, and he’ll end up with multiple copies of the same game.  Not a happy scenario.  That’s where you come in and save Christmas day – with media units.

The simple solution is to get your gamer friend useful furniture that will aid in his gaming escapades.  Media units are actually a really practical gift for anyone with a large collection of games or equipment – they conveniently house and organise a vast array of media items, and they can even double as a stylish platform for a TV.  There are two main categories of media units: the flat, horizontal kind, and the vertical bookshelf kind.

A flat media unit is ideal for gamers who have a moderate game collection and want some extra surface area in their living rooms.  The flat top is accessible since the unit is relatively short, and it can either hold their game consoles or serve as a coffee table.  A tall pigeon hole storage unit is great for gamers with an extensive collection, plus tons of books and knick knacks that need homes as well.  It stands against the wall and its open shelves provide convenient access for when your friend just wants to grab a game and go.  Another option is to get a TV cabinet with doors.  The doors can close to hide the consoles when your friend doesn’t want to be distracted by the lure of games, and they’re also great for temporarily shuffling around mess when guests are coming over.  Any type of media unit that you choose is a stylish storage solution, and it’s the perfect gift that your friend probably didn’t even know he needed.

What type of media unit do you think would suit your gamer friend best?

The phrase “You got pwned!” was first popular among Counter Strike players before becoming a general gamer saying.
