If Sony Released the PS5 as a Arcade Cabinet, would you buy it?

[Josh378]

$699:

4 USB ports for Dual Sense.

Two player setup using arcade setup.

Can switch over to DS controller instead of Arcade pad.

Arcade Screen is 1440p, but have option to purchase bigger resolution screens (cost more).

Can HDMI out to a TV or Projector as an option.

Specs still stay the same...

Your thoughts?

 

[rpm]

Why wouldn't they just make an arcade cabinet that you can put a PS5 in rather than have it be stuck inside an arcade cabinet

No, I don't have space for one. Also, no way that'd be $699

 

[Jroc]

I don't really see the appeal personally.

Might as well make the screen 1080p 120hz if it's intended to be used for fighting games.

 

[MercuryLS]

Seems pointless honestly, if you really wanted one of these niche machines you could just build your own cabinet.

 

[hydruxo]

Of course not

 

[kadotsu]

They should totally do it just so I can get good 1440p support before I buy the console.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Absolutely not, where the hell would I even keep something like that?

 

[NickatNite]

no. the ps5 is already large as is.

 

[Rosebud]

$699 to have my PS5 stuck in a cabinet?

 

[Deleted member 198]

No lmao

 

[Plasma]

So the slim version?

 

[ignata]

I'll buy it however I can find it at this point, without the scalper markup.

 

[h3ro]

No. That's a terrible idea.

 

[mute]

Playing a AAA open world game on an arcade cabinet sounds horrible.

 

[Transistor]

This would be the most pointless thing ever. The PS5 isn't meant for arcade cabinet style play, anyways.

 

[Sim]

We live in an apartment and, even if we were home owners, I don't see the point of this. I like our couch and we have a very nice tv.

 

[Deleted member 1238]

The normal PS5 is already too big

 

[HamSandwich]

I can already imagine playing non-fighting games on this and it's already giving me nightmares.

Plus I like my couch.

 

[raketenrolf]

My PS5 already looks like one.

 

[Feign]

They don't even support 1440p right now, so it'd be upscaled 1080p lmao. The perfect experience. I'm sure it could work but with so many cinematic games they should just go the Jurassic Park route and have a vehicle that moves just so people can sit down.

 

[Nemesis121]

I thought it was already a mini cabinet...

 

[Akainu]

I think it's quite frankly stupid idea.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Your thoughts?

Why?

 

[Gvon]

Not for me. If I wanted to I could move my sofa Infront of my LGCX, or wall mount it and connect my fight stick to get the feeling of an arcade machine

 

[SomeoneSomewhere]

Hell 2 Da Naw

Hm, sounds super niche.

 

[alphacat]

No. I can use PC parts if I were that desperate.

 

[Krakatoa]

Make your own buy a cheap Arcade1up machine, gut it and put in your PS5.

[Perzeval]

PS5 but even bigger? Sure, why not.

 

[Okii]

Weekend era just ended dude pls 🥴

 

[defaltoption]

No thanks but I would buy a 2020 PS3 with full ps1 and ps2 disc compatibility and a digital store for games Sony wants to figure out licensing for.

 

[LavaBadger]

Frankly sounds like s terrible idea.

Buy a smaller TV and stand around it. You'll still be wasting less space.

 

[Deleted member 1003]

What? Why? What would be the point of this besides a weird sense of arcade nostalgia?

 

[Transistor]

Wait a second, why would they make the screen 1440p when the PS5 can't even output that?

 

[SeeingeyeDug]

I got a Quasicade arcade cabinet 15 years ago on clearance for $1200. Contained no console. No way what you're describing would be $699. The wood, craftsmanship, TV mounted, sound, etc is not cheap.

Was an awesome arcade cabinet for my modded OG Xbox though.

 

[Jeronimo]

No. I don't see the appeal in making the PS5 even harder to fit in the average setup, lol.
I'll go out on a limb and guess that most people don't want this.

 

[ghibli99]

Not feeling it, sorry.

 

[Deleted member 2620]

OP you're kinda shooting this in the foot when it comes to appealing to people that would actually want an arcade cabinet by offering no way to hook up non-PS5 hardware

a Vewlix style HD arcade cabinet at this price could be pretty appealing to that crowd but not if you're stuck using it to play PS5 games and only PS5 games

this is very strange

 

[zMiiChy-]

It would probably take up the same amount of space so sure why not

 

[Deleted member 76797]

So the slim version?

Click to shrink...

LOL

 

[KORNdog]

Honestly. I'd rather just build my own slimline cabinet and stick a series X in there since it can at least run Mame

 

[Thera]

Wait a second, why would they make the screen 1440p when the PS5 can't even output that?

Click to shrink...

I think that was the hint of OP trolling :p

 

[Barrel Cannon]

I'd rather have a series S with a 1080p 120hz screen. That makes more sense and is less overkill for such a small screen

 

[EvilBoris]

An even bigger PS5?

Only if it was one with an integrated racing seat, so it would look like some kind of future utopia rejuvenation pod

 

[CloseTalker]

I know the first thing I think of when I look at my PS5 is "man, i wish this fucking thing could take up even more space!"

 

[Fitts]

...but I could just connect my PS5 to the arcade cabinet I already have?

 

[Ploid 6.0]

I remember wishing I had a arcade cabinet... there's no way I'd have a arcade cabinet of any kind, even if it was a mega computer with Nvidia _TX 5099 Super Titan in it. If I had it I would just break it down and put it in a comfortable form factor box to connect to my monitor or TV.

Maybe I'd have a cable coming from or to it and the only tech in the cabinet would be arcade sticks and a monitor. Arcade style games that are ok for short bursts would be on the cabinet at all times, while the PC would be doing PC things like browser, video, and games.
