The guys from PodWombats are some really nice dudes, so at first I kinda felt bad that I was fighting off the urge to giggle at their Mark 3 Pod, Gaming Immersion Hardware. Imagine a wooden box that you climb into to play your games. I know, I thought it was silly too. Then I played Call of Duty 4 in one. Suddenly, I needed one of these.
The idea is to put you in an environment that deprives you of any sensory perception EXCEPT your game. It’s all black inside and sound-insulated. So not only is your wife not going to complain about the noise from your game, but you won’t have to hear her call you to dinner either. Big enough to accomodate a 42-inch TV, and built with all types of gamers in mind, I have to say that while wholly enormous, the Pod does indeed deliver a much better gaming experience.
Priced at about the $2500 mark, this is going to be a substantial investment for most gamers, unless your last name is Carmack, and it DOES NOT include any of the tech to game on. Bring your own TV, speakers, and gaming system to this dance girls. One thing you WON’T have to worry about is suffocating to death. Apparently they thought this thing through, as a blower IS included with your Pod.
Pods are available in any color you want and have several choices available when it comes to trim.
It’s also worth noting, before you attempt to build your own, that the POD assembles in about 15 minutes and, in case you’d like to avoid explaining why it looks like Mork from Ork landed in your living room, collapses to store in a closet, albeit a large closet.
Nanoo Nanoo wealthy gamers!
