WELCOME

When was the last time you took the family to the cinema? When was the last time you took the family to the cinema on a regular basis? Fronting up on the weekend and buying four tickets plus requisite snacks is not for the faint-hearted. What was once a regular – and economically sound – pursuit for a rainy day is now something that requires careful financial planning. There are the big blockbusters that will always deserve to be viewed on a 30ft screen, but the reality for many of us is that a trip to the movies is now very much a luxury. But with changing times come changing habits: enter the home cinema. While certainly not a new concept by any stretch of the imagination, building a media room or space in the home for cinephiles or gamers is now a relatively cost effective and technically easy operation to undertake. It’s not just about the big TV (although that is important – the bigger the better if you ask us); sound and now lighting are essential components in the home entertainment experience. And where once an electrician would’ve been required to wire in a system, smart home technology has made installation – via a smart phone app – as easy as shouting “action!” Want to know more? Check out this month’s bumper smart home entertainment space feature that will help you kickstart your own immersive experience within the comfort of your own four walls. And with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare releasing at the end of the month, there’s never been a better time to get started. Paul Jones, Editor-in-Chief
