Ikea’s cardboard PS5 and Xbox can help you find a TV stand



[ad_1]

(Pocket-lint) – One of the most annoying things about PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is that they are large, and while the consoles may be horizontal, they are meant to be vertical. If you own an expensive booth or entertainment center with short shelves and little space, that’s very inconvenient.

But Ikea understands your dilemma. He has created a solution to help those who are forced to buy a new cabinet or stand to store any of the consoles.

The retailer made size guides, or physical cardboard boxes, that look like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. They appear to be true to scale and have the measurements displayed on their side, all with the goal of helping you easily determine if fit. or sit as you prefer. A Reddit user, who saw the boxes in a store, shared an image of them with the following caption: “What Ikea media storage unit will fit my new meme-sized game console?”

The idea here is that you won’t need to bring your actual PS5 or Xbox Series X to Ikea just to make sure they go with your new entertainment center. It’s a nifty marketing gimmick, honestly. We have contacted Ikea to see where the retailer has these size guides or if they plan to implement them everywhere.
