Bad pic but this is only half of the cords round the back of my TV and it really annoys me when I have to change something or add something. Was just wondering how other peole deal with this problem or wven if they consider it a problem.(is in my small sad little life sigh) :(

I only have two consoles in my gaming room at the moment,so there's not much going on behind the TV. Most newer TVs have more that one set of input plug thingies, but my one is a little heap of crap perched on a cabinet. If you have enough money lying around, you could make the switch to a newer TV, but that sounds like a pretty stupid idea...

Well for me it isn't a problem, even though there is an xbox, dvd, vcr, and tv all together. If you are having a problem, spend a few minutes labelling them with the cable-tie label things, you just wrap one around each cord and write "VCR Power" or "Xbox AV Cables", works a treat! :)

Get an AV cable switch box (or two), they are awesome as far as hooking up multiple devices go- you plug them all into the box and just press the switch to which device you want to use. Best of all, they can be found at most electronic places and are quite cheap.

Don't need a AV swicth box anymore had one but now everything(GCN, DVD, VCR DC, and sometimes a PSX) goes into the back of the amp and the amp has several channels on it which can also have diffrent settings aplied to each. It's just the sheer number and the fack that there cords and they get tangled.

I have heaps of cords behind our entertainment setup. It's not as bad as it used to be since we got the video switch box, as now we don't have to keep fiddling around the back of the tv if we want to move the consoles to another room.
Be good when they finally start making wireless speakers. Be a lot easier than having to trail the satellite speaker wires through the roof.

I know what your going through, mine is a complete mess behind my setup - looks like a spider web. :P I can't stand tangles, nothing irritates me more than having to untangle eight controllers after a gaming session.

I know exactly what you mean. It's like that in my room.
The worst part is the controllers, I have *counts* 8 controllers sitting next to eachother and I can't move any of them any more than 1 metre away from the pack. I really need to do something about that.

I just hide my cords behind stuff. :P
My PC Cords are hidden behind my PC desk and my consoles are all kept in my TV Cabinet. Every Cord from the consoles are behind the cabinet, and the cords are all rolled up and placed on top of the consoles in the cabinet. The only visible cord is the Cat5 running from my modem, along the wall, behind my TV to the Xbox. :P But most of that is under my bed. :P
