This has to rank as one of the worst ideas ever.. april 1st isn't for another 4 months and change guys

 

[StreetsofBeige]

They should have made the 3 red lines into 3 red drumsticks.

 

[Kumomeme]

plot twist. they tease their server rack unit for cloud gaming services

the colonel present......Kentucky Cloud Chicken

 

[Dampf]

This thing looks amazing. And thanks to its RTX GPU with DLSS, it can pretty much far outperform the next gen consoles.

I wonder if this is just a PC or will games be truly optimized for the system? Would be funny if KFC entered the gaming console game!

 

[Atanascovich]

So its a custom pc case. Thats ok. Make it a limited number, sell for a high price. Its a fun promotional item and no one is hurting by it. if i had money condition, o would buy just for the fun.

 

[Pallas]

So does this thing play games or is it a grill?

Both, obviously.

 

[Kdad]

I really don't mind this...more companies should get out of their lane and brand their shit all over the place. Just make sure I get a discount for your branding efforts.

*still hugs his Hot Wheels Patriot computer.

 

[BaneIsPain]

8k fried screen or bust

 

[ScaryBrandon]

It might sound hilarious but it is a PC which makes it superior to any console by default.

 

[TheDreadLord]

Is BBQ the secret sauce here?

 

[wipeout364]

I love the add, it's either the greatest parody add ever or written by the worst marketer ever who delivers the world record for cliches a minute.

Depends on the games you like to play (legally)

 

[Soulja]

Wasn't this shown originally on April fools day or something? I remember seeing this a while ago.

 

[yewles1]

Why do I have a feeling this is going to be a $1000 at minimum?

They tweeted a teaser back in June

 

[DGrayson]

I hate it when companies get out of their lane.

Between this and the lifetime movie with AC Slater.

Just make awesome chicken and sell it please.

[alabtrosMyster]

Isn't Intel kind of shit for that kind of form factor? (Heat/noise/power consumption).

How else are you going to cook your chicken?

Noppe its a KFC chicken deheater with a PC on the site, no way this thing could be called a console

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

Like a lot of promotional things KFC does, they'll probably only make a few of these things.

But if I had to be honest, this thing is more exciting than the PS5 and XsX to me. And I'm being completely serious.

 

[A.Romero]

I, for one, welcome KFC to the console warz arena. That chicken chamber is going to be hard to beat. Maybe Sony will go back to the Foreman grill days.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Will it do RTX

 

[A.Romero]

Will it do RTX

Yes, it's on the site.

It also allows for the GPU to be swapped for upgrades.

 

[BusierDonkey]

Easily the best looking new console.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Shoulda gone with Ryzen...But I hate that it's a little cool...

 

[turtlepowa]

First the KFC Controller, now this. It's getting serious.

 

[Calverz]

Yes, it's on the site.

It also allows for the GPU to be swapped for upgrades.

Dude....that avatar......what the actual fuck?! ROFL

 

[Hudo]

You'll all stop laughing when they announce that they've acquired Sega next Wednesday.

 

[Impotaku]

Obviously they totally know their PC gaming demographic lol

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

Actually looks pretty badass.

Is it like a small PC or it has a proprietary OS ?

 

[Blond]

i still can't believe they actually aired this

 

[A.Romero]

Dude....that avatar......what the actual fuck?! ROFL

I think I got it here on GAF. Can't remember anymore.

Will it do RTX

Yes, Real Tasty chickX

Introducing the KFConsole | Cooler Master

The KFConsole has arrived. Forged from the fires of the KFC ovens and built by Cooler Master from the ground up, there has never been a tastier way to experience the latest titles in stunning 4k, 240fps.

landing.coolermaster.com

Based on the Intel NUC 9 Extreme Kit with a 9th gen Coffee Lake processor, Cooler Master has designed a custom NC100 chassis that resembles a KFC bucket. While the full specs are still under wraps for now, the KFConsole features a hot-swappable Asus GPU and dual Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB NVMe SSDs.

The KFConsole is touted be VR-ready and is said to support ray tracing, so it likely features a GeForce RTX card, which does seem to resemble the Asus Dual GeForce RTX 2070 Mini OC on first look — a card that is designed to fit in Intel NUC 9 Extreme Kit chassis. Interestingly, Cooler Master claims this console can drive 240 fps with up to 240 Hz 4K displays.

Specs apart, the custom chassis designed by Cooler Master's mod team also includes a "Chicken Chamber" that allows you to warm your food while fragging enemies. The Chicken Chamber uses heat and airflow in the chassis to keep the food warm. Essentially, all the heat emanated from the components helps warm your chicken and this helps cooling the system at the same time. Pretty ingenious if it really works well.

There is no availability or pricing info for the KFConsole yet but given its unique design, there's a very good chance its cost may not really be palatable to many — assuming this will even enter mass production.





Finger licking good !

 

[Vae_Victis]

I can't be the only one who thinks that putting an oven inside a PC is so mind-numbingly stupid for so many reasons that even as a joke product this is downright puzzling, right?

You know, things like heat dissipation, spilling of dirt/grease, stable power supply? Is this abomination going to last even 1-2 years if you use it "as intended"?

 

[Kamina]

Looking forward to the Digital Foundry Videos of the near future:
PS5 vs XSX vs KFC

 

[Tickle My Tendies]

KFC Gaming ends console wars....

[Romulus]

I still dont know if this is a joke

Chicken Tendies are never a joking matter, sir.

I am gonna guess that PS5 and XsX have the frame-rate and resolution advantage, but KFC might edge them out in taste. Haven't fried my DualSense yet though, so maybe not

 

[Romulus]

I heard the online membership fees grant you coupons at KFC

I just pictured myself going back 20 years telling my 15 year old self that a KFC Console is a thing in the future.
This is the reason why nobody believes in time travel.

I may buy this and be playing games on it (while warming my chicken sandwich) and I STILL won't be convinced this isn't an elaborate joke.

 

[MasterCornholio]

It kind of looks like a container for transporting fecal matter.

 

[Captain Toad]

It kind of looks like a container for transporting fecal matter.

It warms up your KFC, so you're kind of right.

Ba-dum-pshh

 

[The Time Of Mario]

I'm still wondering on how a games console could fit with a Chicken Heater, and not get damaged...

But if this is real, then I want my hands on one.
