Leave the house? Why would you do that? There’s people out there. You need a place where you can be entertained but still be your true antisocial self. And anyway, going out can be a bit… expensive. 

Our parents (and us, if we’re being honest) love to talk about the rise in the cost of living. Can you believe there was a time when going to the movies was considered a cheap date? You could even throw a dinner in there too. Today, going to the movies feels like a luxurious experience with a hefty price tag. 

Commitment is messy, and so is going out and spending above your means. Plus, there’s all the exes from your past that you’d rather not see, or tipsy strangers getting a little too close for comfort. If this life isn’t for you, why not create an at-home entertainment haven that you can enjoy every night, without the hassle of talking to other people? 

Here are a few essential components you’ll need to craft your dream entertainment escape.

The Silver Screen

First things first, let's talk about the centrepiece of your entertainment empire – the TV. But not just any TV, my friends, we're talking about a screen that makes your friends question if they accidentally stumbled into a movie theatre. Go big, go bold – it's your ticket to a cinematic escape without the sticky floors, and that annoying couple making out in front of you that are blocking the screen. 

Your TV should be so good, it makes you question the need for an actual cinema. We’ve got the right one for the job. The Samsung 65-inch smart TV really makes a statement in your entertainment area. Its ultraslim design makes it fit perfectly in any space, and Dynamic Crystal colour helps you see every subtlety so you don’t miss a moment. Powerful 4k upscaling ensures you have the best possible resolution to enjoy the content you love.

Premium Surround Sound

What’s the point of a big, fancy visual setup if you can’t hear anything? Your favourite movie or game deserves more than a tinny, weak sound. Invest in a sound system that makes explosions feel like they're happening in your living room – minus the mess, of course. 

We recommend the Samsung Essential C-Series Soundbar. Compact but powerful, this speaker has a built-in subwoofer so you can really feel that super bass, just like Nicki Minaj. Surround Sound Expansion extends the optimal sound to a wider listening zone so that you can really fill up the room.

Game On

You can’t always Netflix and chill. Pull out the controllers and get comfy – it’s time for a gaming session. Whether you’re into high-stakes battles or exploring fantasy realms, a gaming console is a non-negotiable addition to your tech arsenal. Immerse yourself in virtual worlds so intense and all-consuming that you might forget you have a day job and responsibilities. 

There are many gaming consoles on the market but luckily for you, you can have subscriptions to try them all out. The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console of 2023, so you’ll be in great company with this one. 

An absolute powerhouse in the gaming sphere with 16GB of GGDR6 RAM and a custom 825GB SSD, the PS5 delivers lightning-fast loading times and real-life graphics pushing the boundaries of what is real and what isn’t. With adaptive triggers making for an immersive gaming experience, the PS5 is heralded as a true monster in the gaming world.

Riding solo? Another great gaming experience you can do all on your own is dabbling in virtual reality. The PlayStation VR2 lets you immerse yourself in virtual worlds that go beyond reality. 4k HDR visuals, genre-defining games, and unique sensations transport you to another realm where everyone and anything seems possible.

Why splurge your life savings on these tech marvels when you can simply subscribe to them? Yes, you heard it right – a subscription to the coolest gadgets in town. Upgrade your TV today, swap out your sound system tomorrow – the possibilities are endless, and so is your entertainment. 3D audio technology, intelligent eye tracking, finger touch detection, adaptive triggers and subtle headset vibrations helps you feel and experience your new world in a more realistic way.
