It's also stackable, so you can pile them on each other to form one giant storage center.

The Price: $45 for the game storage unit itself on top, and $75 for the game storage unit plus the drawer on the bottom.

The Verdict: It's a fantastic idea in theory, but in practice the storage unit on top is actually not tall enough to hold either the PS3 or the Xbox 360. You can only fit in a PS2 or a Wii—both horizontally—which makes it kind of a disappointment to next-gen fans. However, the compartment on the right holds both controllers and accessories, which makes it not a total loss.

The vertical orientation looks nicer, but sucks because you can't take out your games without pulling the drawer all the way out. Horizontal is fine, but becomes awkward when you have games of different sizes (PS3 and Xbox 360 as shown, for example).

<![CDATA[Kangaroom's Stackable Console Storage Holds Games, Consoles]]> We've been fans of Kangaroom's cord organizers for a while, so their newest Game Console Storage units seems like they're just the thing to keep your gaming neat and organized without a large entertainment center. Not only does the unit hold one standard-sized console (not sure if the Xbox 360 or PS3 can fit in there, though) it also holds 37 games and a couple controllers. If you have multiple consoles, you can even stack multiple Console Storage units on top of each other to form your own Captain Planet-game storage area. $40 for the console storage unit and $80 for the storage unit plus game cabinet.
