Would you pay to rent my media/video room

It wouldn't work due to the fact that you're asking too much! When you were that age could you afford that? You still sound weird for inviting total strangers into your home?

If you've got a stripper pole I'd pay ten bucks to get in.

In the case of showing movies and charging your "patrons", you would be in violation of copyright laws if you did not pay a royalty to the owner of the content- unless you limit your selection to non-copyrighted home movies. DVD's etc. are for private viewing only! Read the "FBI Warning" that comes on after the movie- it's there for a reason. I don't know if the same applies to video games, though. I'm not saying you would necessarily get caught, but it's worth considering..

Stripper pole and I am there. Otherwise, join the crowd. It just won't work. I had a HT consultation and installation buisness for about 2 years. First thing is this. We are far and few between. I expected everyone would share my enthusiasm for hi-end HT. Nope, I was wrong.
Most people wouldn't know the difference from a RCA set or the next. More than half of my calls were from people needing me to reset their clock on the VCR after a power failure. They all wanted to get the cheapest gear from the local Sears or worse. And then wanted me to make it all work.I finally refused work because I was not putting my name on some real crappy setup.
Bottom line is most people don't care about your room.
But, you add the stripper pole and a few of us will be pitching in.

The stripper pole does not work, one of my friends tried that along with a dentist chair- don't ask. He can't seem to attract the crowd he's looking for even when he hires strippers for parties.
