Are gaming chairs as good as they say?

Old Roommate paid $170 for a really high end one. Meanwhile I got a leather office chair for free from a company that didn't want it anymore because they were moving across state lines. He liked my office chair better. Looked it up and the office chair was $150.

If you're buying new, $170 does not get you a high end gaming chair.  That's entry level price.
