so there's been a lot of news lately about you know the new gaming service from Google Google stadia you just have your controller your smartphone your tablet your laptop you can play games anywhere of course that's not a real product yet and many of you doubt that it will ever be a reality the way that Google was showing it off so I decided to make my very own version of gaming anywhere but with the more traditional approach of using an Xbox so this guy right here the games G 170 Sentinel this is a like suitcase looking package that lets you jam in an Xbox and you get a monitor and it all folds up almost like a console in a laptop so I'm calling this creation the Xbox stadia the Google stadia killer you know you can just plug it in and start going no matter where you are in the world even if you're camping you don't have power when you're camping maybe you like to camp with power look at that Wow 350 bucks so it's I mean it's a few dollars but keep in mind you've got the display built in so you're getting a display you're getting a speaker setup it's all designed around this idea just flip it open and play and this whether you like playstation or xbox you can pick okay this is uh what are you putting a bag controllers and stuff it's factory-fresh right there oh okay a remote control they give you a short HDMI cable with a right angle connector so that should be convenient it's nice that they included that a power brick obviously whoo here we go it really is like a suitcase or a briefcase oh here we go we're getting a big peel here are you ready it's a big peel coming up who Willie do you're a big fan I hate a big peal like that the orange peel once again factory-fresh all right yeah up like this whoo so once again this 1080p it's an LED panel it's got a matte finish on it it's not glossy so that should be good for reflections also a lot of controls here on the front power switch volume up/down brightness and I like that they have those without going into the menu system cuz that can be a bit of a nightmare for the frequently used buttons so you could just reach up and you got them straight away power goes into this port right here you can see the speaker units right underneath the display two headphone outputs very convenient and then of course the HDMI in that I mentioned this whole region over here is like a neoprene wetsuit kind of material and it's padded it's got like a memory foam underneath so hopefully it's gonna treat your console very nice and protected and comfy and whatnot this will do an Xbox this will do a Playstation and these straps hold it in place okay so here's that both this is an Xbox obviously so all we're gonna do is slide in a slack through here actually this one fits really good get the straps going tightened up too simple doesn't move around too much now you might be thinking like who is this for why aren't you just gonna get a I don't know a gaming laptop or something I think the idea here is a bit more social like maybe you show up got a couple controllers maybe you're into sports games or something you can have a little versus mode and maybe you already have an Xbox to begin with but again this isn't the kind of thing you're gonna bring with you every day you're gonna bring this to class in college could you you just pretend it's a laptop you know where they take notes in the auditorium is it just you just flip this open I don't know if you could get away with that these days I'm not sure I'm not advising you do it I'm just anyhow let's see how we close it down that's what it's like okay it's it's smaller than I expected it to be when you see it unfolded it seems huge but like this you can get away with that you show up you pop it down you flip the switch look at you we're gonna hit the what the right angle one over here you think like that that's a nice set up this guy goes right over here so you're gonna have two power cables coming out of this keep that in mind you do have some cabling showing and of course if you have headphones that we'll be showing as well but it's not terrible so it's a pretty smooth Center nonetheless okay oh all right we're 100 sound just for a quick test hundred brightness now keep in mind very brightly lit environment we're in so that's gonna affect the appearance of brightness on this display as well man haven't played a Capcom game in a while oh by the way we're playing Resident Evil 2 this is uh this is Welles recommendation what does it say saving requires an ink ribbon no autosave stronger enemies normal gameplay assisted it has a missed recover health automatically that's rude there's no way of doing that there's no way I'm doing that I'm definitely doing standard come on man Will's hitting the lights to spook me out over there wow this looks pretty good oh it's a nice man this is spooky stay back sir I got you straight shoot keys is that doing anything wasting my bullets right now Wow he took a lot of bullets I think I only got one bullet left now now I'm dead yeah I'm gone oh yeah oh I got another boy for that purpose I discovered another bullet I'll take I'll take the cutscene right now let me out of here that's the thing I'm always wondering what this all-new situation the amount of time between you getting bit and you going zombie it's always up for dispute sometimes it's like instant other times it takes an hour like that dudes gonna emerge from the truck he's obviously zombie mode maybe not at that explosion you know you wanna know something I kind of like this thing it's kind it's a it's cool it's not the brightest screen I've ever seen up but I do like that it has the matte finish and 1080p at this size at 17 inches is plenty of pixels so you don't really need anything more than that I surprisingly ended up immersed I wish the speakers were a bit louder but that said you have to do a headphone jack so you can use those and really you're talking about a package that's just unique in and of itself like if this is what you want to do I understand the potential criticisms obviously it is a bizarre device it's but that's kind of that's kind of why I like it cuz it's a bit unusual as far as like the different gadgets that you see out there you know you hear about like athletes for example that go on road trips they want to bring their video games in the hotel room things like this you could take it to a party load up Madden NBA NHL have a couple controllers and you just you have some instant fun all you do you unplug right you unplug this you won't plug this you take your little cable out it goes into the bag and then the whole thing closes up look at that I mean you're like a secret agent console gamer I call it the Xbox stadia that's what I just named it I coined it the package together it's the Xbox stadia obviously I'm just joking with that it's not the same thing at all but nonetheless if you ever wanted to have a portable Xbox this has got to be the best way to do it
