I have the same use case but with Xbox 360s since they are cheaper and easier to get here in Germany. Haven't found a better "easy LAN party" setup than this.

I have the same use case but with Xbox 360s since they are cheaper and easier to get here in Germany. Haven't found a better "easy LAN party" setup than this. A PC gaming LAN setup for 20 year old games is also dirt cheap but mostly requires 1 PC per player. The splitt screen support on PC is unfortunately very bad.
