We're still in the first month of the year and we've already been introduced to a handful of upcoming devices like the Project Shield, Razer Edge, Steambox, Oculus Rift, OUYA and more. From surprise announcements to speculations, we're expecting a big year. Let's check out what we know so far.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.

I want that Razer Edge
Consumers will be spoilt for choice!
I really would like to try VAlve's Steam Piston. I speculate it's going to be huge. The gaming industry is about to have a new contender.
