How's this for an idea thought of whilst in the bath.
A different way to experience games, in a more social way. You set up a venue, similar enough to a bar/pub/restaurant in the respect you sell drink (alcohol) and food (munchie type food, not proper cuisine).
The difference being that without going to the extremity of having seperate rooms, you segregate parts of the venue, with each part housing a very nice AV set-up along with comfy sofas and that kinda stuff. Y'know what i mean, surround sound - set up properly, a big, widescreen television, and then the three major consoles ready to be played, with the latest games. I.e. The type of set-up the average gamer doesn't have, or can't have, due to financial reasons.
Maybe you could capitalise on having the latest import releases available. Or alternatively, you could hold monthly competitions on Halo or Super Monkey Ball.
I don't know if'd i want to go somewhere like this on a friday or saturday night in between pubs, or on the way to a club. but it's an interesting idea.
Are games mainstream enough for something along these lines? What does everyone else think? is the kinda thing you'd like to see? would you use such a venue? is there a market for it?
I don't know how you'd work out a pricing scheme, per game? per player? per hour?
Thoughts, comments, criticism more than welcome.

no one likes a greasy pad. But go down for a drink or 2 with a few m8s, grab a bite to eat then hit a console for multiplayer fun, could be cool.
