    O.o is it April, 1st already?
    I didn't see that coming...
    Can it compete with Wii? Probably not.
    But hey, at least it won't overheat like XBOX360!

    MSRP (excl. VAT):
    39,90 € / US$ 57.90
    Not bad for the price.

    What I'd like to know is what is the "32bit 3D Processor"

    I've seen these in UK supermarkets (not Arctic Cooling), for about £20. Certainly an odd product to release.

    Not a strange move tbh , there where always clones of consoles and there will always be, if the price is low no harm done.


    Hehe, i just remembered i had Atari 2600 clone, my dad buyed me when i was a kido, named Rambo TV game with 2001 games

    It is strange for the brand. If anything this damages their brand.

    Agree, but they are more average pc joe products (Freezers where good tho) so again no harm done ..
    If ThermalRight did it then it is another story, again IMO.

    Looks like a sensor you place on the ground and pretend to kick the invisible ball above it.

    Wonder how good the 48 games are. Wii is 5 times this price for less good games than that. If this has decent party games, its much better than a wii. Won't have rock band though I guess.

    yes... itll rather damage the brand and drive it off focus...
    brands are usually associated to a certain range of products, and if you skip to another range of products... it tends to confuse customers and makes them question the brand.... you wouldnt buy a mcdonnalds branded tv, would you?

    It is. But a few days earlier they also released a new product line-up
    of headphones called Arctic Sound They range from very cheap
    earbuds to some medium-priced IEMs.

    Wonder if they found some left-over crack from new year's eve that
    caused this shift

    Instead of pressuring down the price for Freezers (it got 1/3 in last year, not so good price/performance as it used to be) they release this? The world goes to hell...

    I'd probably buy Gelid Silent Spirit next time, it's probably more powerfull and cooles things around CPU as well. So this looks like a beginning of the end of AC for me.

    Well, maybe I can use the Arctic Cooling batteries to power this one. AC is clearly trying to shift its brand to other areas which, in my opinion, won't be very succesfull. First of all, the AC brand is that regocnizable (for general public) and interesting. Second the products they are offering are just rebranded OEM stuff. Thirdly the main centre of business will be interrupted.

    Who is in management? They are retarded imo.
    Nobody wants to buy Arctic COOLING headphones or videogame systems...

    Then again it costs less than COD:MW2 so i can see alot of people buying this to entertain young children.

    This is a target audience for this product. So your first argument is not valid.
