(+) Yeah! (+)

The title says it all:

i cant believe its a legit console

---

I want one with a mountain dew cooler that also cools my 3090 super.

complete specs haven't been revealed, but we know it's got an Intel Nuc 9 CPU, Seagate BarraCuda 1TB SSD, and judging from the prominence of "ray tracing" in the marketing from Cooler Master, an Nvidia GPU. Cooler Master also says the KFConsole has "a first of its kind hot swappable GPU slot" for easy upgrades. But who really cares about all that when it's got a chamber to keep your fried chicken warm?

So it's a gaming pc

---

Son of a bitch I already bought a gaming PC this year

---

I wonder what it's cost will be compared to other pre-built gaming pc's.

---

I realize it's a stupid thing to get pissed off over, but this thing's existence is legitimately pissing me off and I cant put my finger on it. But I know that chicken warmer is the crux of it.

---

Just figured it out: imagine working at KFC, benefits suck, raises skipped due to Covid, and you see this...thing. like Gee thanks corporate, no money for better wages but you have money to throw in the garbage for a marketing stunt (they have to realize NOBODY is going to buy this thing)?

Maybe that's it, this thing just seems like an abysmal waste of time and resources all for a stupid joke feature noboy asked for. Hey let's have hot greasy crumby food right inside a sensitive electronic device, what could go wrong?

@PoundGarden
Well, a warmer inside a pc is the dumbest thing ever because you want to cool your components, not heat them up.

Yah, I read it uses the PC's own "natural" heat to keep it warm, no extra hardware it's basically a hole in the box to put food in

---

Every preorder bonus HAS to come with a bucket of fried chicken

---

So a more powerful Xbox 360

---

For peak lulz, they need to do a cross promotion and remaster all the old Burger King games.

Damn first Windy's dropped a rap album and now this

Yup, who thought this was a good idea to waste money over? Corporate is filled with idiots.

Wendy's dropped a rap album?!

Their marketing team is insufferable. I hope they go bankrupt soon. They honestly deserve it.

Probably because their team gets paid very well for these unfunny jokes while their employees struggle in the dirt to make rent.

Wasn't it some free visual novel? Lol

Seems like something out of that south park WoW episode.

---

It's a custom PC that is basically being licensed to Cooler Master to sell. It'll be sold at a premium and I can guarantee it'll sell out quick. There's not going to be many of them.

Bud Light did something similar already.

Asides from that they announced a movie iirc, they legit lost their minds i though it was memes but they're real

All this stuff is probably still way cheaper than hiring an A-list celebrity to pose during some moody pop song cover to market cologne or perfume.

Sneak King ftw.

I can see the in-store marketing now: Next-Gen Gaming - World's first Organic heatsink.

---

I kinda want it just for the novelty.
