Usually I start off about 4 or 5 feet away, but oddly find myself scooting closer and closer to the tv when playing some games. I don't know why. Also wonder why I tilt to the side in my chair during corners in racing games or why I kick my leg up while Mario makes certain jumps. :?

i think it depends a little on how big tv you have...

I have a 32" wide and i'm sitting about 2 meters away from it. This is the distance that I have had as long as i remember playing video games. No problem for me.

About ten feet if the controllers charged.

About 3 feet when I have it charging.

Right in front of the thing like 2 feet away (no longer than the charging cords that came with it). I like being close. the only bad thing is that all the noise picks up on my headset.

While playing Warhawk (or while charging controller) 1 metre

While playing FFXII and looking at guide 3.5 m from tv 0.5 m from monitor

While doing anything else, like playing FFXII w/o the guide 2-2.5 m on my couch

EDIT: and nearly 8 years solid gaming has led to my extreme short sightedness, meaning while sitting 0.5m away from my monitor, I cant read anything below size 18 on it, if im lucky

I would show you a picture of how thick i need my glasses but the camera on my phone isnt good enough to show the concave and I'm too lazy to go find a proper camera :P
