| Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... |
Video games dominate the home tech landscape these days. And not just in homes with kids in them, either. In fact, according to the most recent official gaming stats, the average gamer is 33 years old, and 72 percent are 18 or older. And it’s not all about the guys, either. Women age 18 and older represent a significantly greater portion of the video game-playing population (45 percent) than boys under age 18 (17 percent).
All of this means that lots of homes have video game consoles. And video games. And controllers, cameras, headsets, and cables. Lots and lots of trailing cables. All of this is, of course, essential to the video gaming experience, but far too often it’s also a huge cluttered mess in the living room or den. Especially if you are like 72% of the video gaming population that admits to owning more than one console.
Very little to do with video gaming could be called cheap. It’s at least $59.99 for a new release title for the big three gaming systems, and finding a controller for less than that is almost impossible. And that does not even take into consideration the systems themselves.
Therefore, it makes sense to try to keep your video gaming supplies as organized as possible. Not just because it will look so much better—and it will—but also because organizing your video games will help protect the rather large investment you’ve made in them. But what’s the best way to do it? Here are just a few great ideas to get you started:
Video Games Are Book Sized, So Store Them That Way
Most video games are, when properly put away in their covers, roughly book-shaped and sized, so the obvious storage solution is a bookshelf, right? This can indeed be a great idea, but as you are stacking all those games, take the time to play librarian and sort them. You can do it alphabetically, by genre, by console, or however makes the most sense to you.
By doing this, you’ll help make specific games easier to find at game time, minimizing the need to mess up all the games on the shelf just to find that one zombie shooter that absolutely has to be played tonight.
Baskets are Cool For Video Gaming Supply Organization Too
No room for a big bookshelf? If your consoles ‘live’ on a desk or in an entertainment center – which many do – the kind of fabric baskets you can pick up at the dollar store or better still, clear plastic ones you easily find on Amazon can make a great video gaming supply organization solution too.
This solution allows you to store random accessories too; just make sure that if you are planning to store items with wires, the wiring is free of kinks and wound up nicely at the end of play, to avoid tangles and damage to the sensitive wiring inside.
Use an Office Wall Organizer
Have you seen those wall-hung office organizers that are designed to hold file folders, pens, pencils and other small office supplies? They can be great for storing oddly shaped controllers and cables as well.
Hide It All Away
One of my favorite ways to organize video gaming supplies (not the games themselves) and declutter the gaming space is to make use of a storage footstool or ottaman. You can find them in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colors fairly inexpensively, and they offer the added bonus of providing a place to prop your feet up when you play.
Display the Good Stuff
Some of the special controllers and accessories that video gamers are often drawn to are actually little works of art in their own right. So, if you have a dedicated gaming space—in your living room or the den, even the bedroom—why hide them away?
Take the finest of them and, with the help of Velcro or Command Hooks (as neither will damage sensitive equipment), create a wall display that showcases your passion without everything looking cluttered. Make sure to use the soft loop side of the Velcro on the controller to avoid friction on your hands while you play!
