Bud Light has officially won the console wars with the BL6: half coozie, half projector, half console. Trust us, the math adds up. Learn more at budlight.com/BL6.

I hope it's compatible with the KFC console.

Meet the BL6, Bud Light’s Game Console

It's a gaming PC. It's a projector. It's a giant six-pack holder!

www.pcmag.com

The BL6 is a Windows 10 PC equipped with an Intel i7-1065G7 CPU and 16GB of RAM, with a built-in projector, all packed into a big blue case designed to look like a Bud Light six-pack.

So far, however, it appears to be a real labor of love from Bud Light's engineering team (which is a thing that exists, apparently). Yes, it's a weird beer-selling marketing stunt, but it's also a pretty neat piece of technology in a really eye-catching case. And it's a functioning piece of electronics, not some 3D-rendered monstrosity that will only appear in a commercial and nowhere else.

That's better than that Atari bollocks that's coming out.

Shame it's from such an awful lager, but still, neat.

Does it have a GPU?

Seems like Intel built in

Specifically, the PC appears to be a Microsoft Surface Pro or similar system, and the projector is an Asus ZenBeam 720p projector. It has Intel Iris graphics instead of a beefy graphics card, but it still has enough oomph to play Tekken 7 and Soul Calibur 6.

It's just a charity event guys, check out the actual promo site. It's pretty funny actually, they're completely self-aware.

I mean, when people play trash shit like beer pong, this is the equivalent of Mario 64.
