[00:00:00] Speaker 1: I have tested a ton of home arcade products over the years, but I certainly haven't seen any that look quite like this. This is My Arcade's new jukebox player, and as the name suggests, it combines a home arcade machine and a jukebox. So as far as the arcade portion goes, this is going to be a Bandai Namco machine. My Arcade is targeting about 50 games, so you can expect the essentials like Pac-Man, Galaga. You've got your standard controls, you've got a nice clicky joystick, you've got your A and B buttons. You should get that standard kind of home arcade experience that My Arcade has delivered for a couple years now. But of course what makes this thing unique is that it's also a jukebox, and specifically it is a Bluetooth speaker. So you will be able to pair your phone to this, play your own music, it will have lights that will adapt to what's playing. So a really interesting combination we haven't quite seen in the home arcade space. So My Arcade is targeting Q3, Q4. For this larger model, you can expect a price of about $250 to $300. There's also this smaller model that I'm actually even more excited about. This is probably the one I would get. This one's probably going to be closer to $150. Same functionality, except this one will actually be portable, battery-powered, so that's very intriguing. Very much looking forward to testing these out. This is My Arcade's Jukebox Player Series, and for more things gaming and tech here at CES, of course, leave a like to see another story.
