Those who can't decide if they want a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One will probably be interested in this hybrid console from an imaginative modder. The PlayBox 4One, the laptop that combines the power of Sony's and Microsoft's popular consoles, was developed by Eddie Zarick, a prolific gaming console modder.
The genius brain behind this hybrid game console introduced his latest creation in his official YouTube account as well as in his blog, where he stated that he made the new concept because of a client's order. This new fusion console comes after Zarick's earlier projects, including the Playbook 4 and Xbook One.
Zarick's Playbook 4One is slightly bigger than the first two projects, and it comes with the specs of Sony's PlayStation 4 on one side and Microsoft's Xbox One on the other side. Although both consoles are featured in this product, only one can be played at a time so that it will not overheat.
This laptop-looking gaming device comes with a 22-inch Vizio monitor, a single power cord, individual disk drives that are meant for each console, a smart HDMI switch, as well as an HDMI-out port. The device also has two Ethernet ports that can be used for wired Internet connection that can be used for both consoles, and as a switch that players can press to instantly swap between each console. It also has two wireless black controllers for easy gaming experience. All of these mechanisms are encased in a sturdy plastic box.
Zarick creates fused gaming consoles like the PlayBox 4One as a hobby, then he eventually sells these products to gaming enthusiasts online. His first two projects were sold for $1,500 each. This time, the new PlayBox 4One is expected to be given a $3,000 price tag.
The seasoned modder also came up with a gaming console that combines the Xbox One and Xbox 360, and called it the Xbook Duo.
