Acording to one of the comments on youtube (I know...I know!):

Quote

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. 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 and comes with 6 games preinstalled (2 of which are actually BL6 exclusives no less). The included game controllers are BL6-branded 8Bitdo N30 Pro+ gamepads.

That seems too specific to be made up. It even has exclusives?! If that's true, then we now live in a world where ATARI is out done by Bud Light. Maybe you know it by its other name - "Yellow Snow." Yeah, that BUD LIGHT!

It's at $8,500 USD right now. Wow. I thought it was a joke at first.

I could think of quite a few ways to spend $8500. None of them include a glorified six pack of piss.

What would I rather spend $8500 on? Hmm...

• 77" LG OLED77CXPUA ($3500) + Samsung HW-Q950T Dolby Atmos Soundbar ($1400) + PS5 ($500) & X-Box Series X ($500). That still leaves me $2600 (43x $60 games). I'd get a smattering of PS4, OG X-Box/360 games that is backwards compatible, I don't already own, & look interesting. Also some switch games I haven't bought because of ridiculous prices. With the remainder, a fair selection of retro titles from choice consoles. I think $8,500 would put a fair dent in the wishlist.
