If, like me, you enjoy a bit of gaming action from time to time, you've probably got a console or two around the house.
And you might well be intrigued by the new generation of games that use new fangled controllers instead of the traditional joystick or joypad. Indeed, they're all the rage at the moment as publishers look to interest new audiences by getting them to play musical instruments, prance about in front of cameras or wave their arms.
Nintendo's Wii, with its famous motion sensing control pad, is selling by the bucketload, while titles like Donkey Konga, Sing Star, Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero all require their own controllers.
But how many controllers can you actually cope with? How many do you have space for? Are we going to be overrun if every single title that comes out demands its own add-on gadgets?
I'm looking for some readers who are swamped by gaming peripherals and would be interested in talking to us. If that sounds like we've been spying on your living room, then I'd like to hear from you. The email address is bobbie.johnson at theguardian.com
