Guess you wouldn't want to buy the actual PS4 from them, unless you live in Germany, because of the power issue.

Wonder if the wood paneling would cause heat related issues with the PS4.

Looks nice though, and would go wonderfully in a room with wood paneling.

I thought the same thing, but I guess wood isn't really a significantly better insulator than plastic, considering the wood is only .03 inches thick. My main concern would be blockage of the fan.

Anyway, these are pretty cool. Modern yet retro!

Particularly PS4 drawing considerable wattage consumption.

Eh, I've still got my Atari 2600 Atari VCS from when I was a kid. That gives my system enough retro woodgrain look. Cool

Balolo claims "Testing has not shown any critical changes in temperature."

This would be great if I could actually find a PS4 to buy Rolling Eyes .

It would be cool to have designs carved in the wood itself. If it does well in in the first run, further customization would be a nice feature.

Looks ugly and tacky. Also probably a bad idea.

I quite like the idea but it's expensive for what it is - I could buy a table for that price Laughing
