Acer announces absurd-looking Predator Thronos gaming chair

I use the term chair since technically the Predator Thronos is still, at its heart, a chair. But with a giant overhead brace that supports three 27-inch gaming monitors, along with integrated space for a Predator gaming PC, it is less a place to sit and more a convenient way to let you live inside your gaming PC. And of course, the whole thing lights up.
Acer hasn't offered a price or release date for the Thronos, but suffice to say that it likely won't come cheap, even before you consider the cost of a gaming PC and three 27-inch monitors.

Gotta give it a hand to the guy who had the cajones to say "Thronos" in a business meeting.

I read Predator Thanos gaming chair and thought we were getting the crossover of the century.

Wow, you sure weren't kidding with "absurd"...

I'm sure the price will be just as ridiculous.

Looking forward to seeing this on sets of mid-budget sci-fi indie films in the near future.

If I had the money to spend on things like this I'd have someone custombuild a thing, not buy this garish display.
This would only make sense in an arcade or if you've got a whole room that looks like Tron.

The dumb, ugly, cheap looking gamer looking trend has to die.
Give me a high quality gaming screen with a high quality design, with a nice frame and materials.

That chair has existed for awhile. Did they just have the company that makes them brand it with Acer product line?

Y'know, add some sides and some cooling and we could have a personal pod, great for zero distractions

This is one of those purchases where I wouldn't fault a significant other with just getting up and leaving.

E3 usually has a vendor tucked in the very back that's trying to market a gaming setup like this. I figured it was only a matter of time before one of the bigger names wanted to get in on the ergonomic action.
