Cool Gaming chairs - Anything decent in UK?

Hi people,

I was recently in the States and went to a friends internet gaming cafe. He had some fantastic chairs there that you could sit in and mong out to huge screens while playing xbox games. They were hugely comfortable and I want one

He bought several of these from local US stores for less than $100, but I can't seem to find anything similar here in the UK.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1096381304270
Anyone seen anything similar to these here? The sites I've found in US that stock them (such as Best Buy, and Circuit City) don't ship internationally. If anyone has experience of other 'gaming chairs' that have worked out well for them then please let me know. Note that I'm not after anything big and heavy, as this will need to be put into our integral garage when I'm not using it.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Julian

That looks really nice - I will probably get one for my desk as my current desk chair is knackered and the gas strut loses an inch worth of height every 10 minutes or so - very annoying! Unfortunately I don't think it would cut the mustard for in front of the TV. These things I linked to above are much more 'slumped pose' so you feel like you're sat in a beanbag though they're much more supportive.

Perhaps that's the answer - get a cheap bucket seat and whack it on top of a beanbag LOL

Any other ideas or links appreciated!

Respect for putting together however!!! Well impressed!
