One for the gamer in your life. This PlayStation-themed alarm clock will keep the obsession going even while they sleep. It is designed to look like a real PlayStation 4 controller sitting on a charging stand, apart from the mini display of course. Powered by USB, its backlit display shows the time and date so when you inevitably wake up in a panic, you’ll know exactly what time it is.

It’s officially licensed Sony merchandise too, so there is no fudging of the design details; it even has the PS button.

I mean there are better alarm clocks out there, but if you are a PlayStation fan these could be nice collectibles. I think the white controller will turn into a crusty dusty mess pretty quickly though so if you were to buy one the Black one is the best choice, unless you're buying the white one to keep in a case for it's value later.

£24.99 is about $30 though, seems a bit step for a basic alarm clock. $35 for the white one.

That’s the first thing I remembered when I saw the price differences…

Arrogant Sony is back in full force this generation.

 

[GHG]

Vibrators disguised as PS4 controllers when?

 

[Three]

Why the hell would I want an alarm clock that looks like a controller? Just to confuse myself.

 

[The_Mike]

I was about to call it racist prices, until I saw it was just the white clock getting next gen price hike like the console itself.

 

[Max_Po]

I would be embarrassed if I had that shit in my room or on my desk.

 

[AllBizness]

There are dorks that will buy this

 

[8BiTw0LF]

If these have internal batteries they're anti-consumer

 

[Jonnie_Darko]

??? This has been in stores for years.

 

[TLZ]

So all the rumours before PS5 launch about the controller having a display were true. It was this all along.

Can it stream PS5 games to the tiny screen?

 

[ShaquilleOatmeal]

Does it come with a countdown timer to the next fucking showcase?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

What's worse?

PS branded Pottery Barn furniture or PS branded alarm clock?

 

[ManaByte]

Oh this will definitely get you laid.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Sweet I can set my alarm clock for a countdown to the next PlayStation showcase

It will just permanently say “soony”

 

[Kenneth Haight]

This will offset the loss of CoD Jim. Big brain move my man.

"Why isn't Kratos jumping, oh damn got the alarm cock again."

 

[Aenima]

Looks like something you could buy from AliExpress. Dosent look official lincesed at all.

 

[Wandering Leopard]

If I had no taste, I would buy the PS2 one.

 

[Kagey K]

Does it come with a countdown timer to the next fucking showcase?

I don't think the screen has enough digits.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Looks like something you could buy from AliExpress. Dosent look oficial linced at all.

Legit made me laugh. Looks like absolute shit alright and for half the price of an actual functioning controller. Way too overpriced.

Also, every single human on the planet has a fucking alarm clock on their smartphone now. So stupid this shit

Edit: drunk and can’t spell

 

[Aenima]

Looks like something you could buy from AliExpress. Dosent look oficial linced at all.

Lol, called it.

Thing would need to be like this. We must be due a state of play soon or a big showcase surely.

 

[Pallas]

There’s also this ….

[blastprocessor]

Display doesn’t seem to be running at 4K.

Need to get DF to analyse.

 

[Belthazar]

This (or something very similar) came as a prize inside PlayStation branded easter chocolate eggs here in Brazil a few years ago. The eggs were around the equivalent to $15 in local currency.

 

[HiFiVideogameMusic]

Consoom products and eat the bugs

 

[Aenima]

And thers no need to be jelly Xbox fam, Paladone has you covered with they clearly official lincensed products.

 

[jhjfss]

There’s also this ….

 

[CJ_75]

Who needs a alarm clock? We are gamers, we don't sleep.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

6:08 or 6.08 is roughly the frame rate of Cyberpunk on the PS4.

 

[jigglet]

I’m after an alarm clock but yuck. Why not a sleek unit in the same design sensibilities of the console? Not a mini PS5 but something that shares the stylings. Hard pass.

 

[RoadHazard]

So all the rumours before PS5 launch about the controller having a display were true. It was this all along.

Can it stream PS5 games to the tiny screen?

Yes, but the display resolution is 8x3 pixels (3p), so image quality will suffer a bit.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I am concern

 

[TheInfamousKira]

This is the dumbest thing ever. Ever.

 

[Verchod]

Is there a call of duty themed one that counts down?

 

[PSYGN]

What time is it?

Spoiler

Game time!11

 

[ReBurn]

Put it next to your bed to guarantee no women ever enter it.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I want this pac man clock

 

[coffinbirth]

??? This has been in stores for years.

Yup. Just another pointless thread from this guy.

 

[lh032]

alarm clock...???

indication that playstation showcase is coming soon and we should take note of the announcement!!!!!?????

 

[ArtHands]

Some people may want to stay a virgin

 

[Windle Poons]

It comes with a button to press that will wake the player at midnight now when that next game you digitally pre-ordered six months ago unlocks.

 

[Kamina]

 

[solidus12]

What time is it?

Spoiler

Game time!11

Pizza Time, or hammer time

Your call, buster

 

[Rest]

lolwut

 

[Kagey K]

That white one better have haptic alarm and a resistant snooze button to justify the price.

 

[Nankatsu]

Not exactly what I was expecting.

I would assume they would something with the square, cross, circle, triangle, not turn a legit controller into a alarming clock.

 

[Banjo64]

I would be embarrassed if I had that shit in my room or on my desk.

Probably just Christmas gifts for literal children
