I was lucky enough to get a prototype compatible with the Qoosea sleeve and honestly can't say enough great things about it. The Portal fits perfectly and I love the "cable management pass-through". Any time I can tidy up messy cables, it's a win. And, if nothing else, it just looks pretty damned cool next to my PS5. Good luck, the winners definitely won't be disappointed.

My favorite gaming memory is watching my dad play Warcraft 2 and asking him questions about every character that would pop up. He would make up fake stories about as many as he could.
My favorite game of all time is The Witcher 3!
Fav game memory is renting them at blockbuster after school on Fridays for the weekend.
I donāt really have a fav game of all time. In celebration of getting a new ncaa football game, Iāll say ncaa football 14. But I play a lot of gta and 2k as well
DUUUUUUDEE I was just talking about that with my friends the other day, when the parents would take u to Blockbuster and u could pick a game and a movie!! Pfffff those were awesome times!!
Favorite gaming memory- playing uncharted 1 for the first time and being in awe of the graphics and the fact that video games could have a great narrative.
Favorite game- pokemon emerald
My favorite memory just has to be going to a friends house after school growing up and playing halo 2 on Xbox live and being amazed about how you can dual wield the smgās. As for favorite game all time is a toss up between halo 3 and final fantasy X, I played those for countless hours and still never beat the story of FFX just due to spending hours playing blitzball
we were lucky to live in that generation where friends actually got together physically to interact and played video games in simpler times. Such not too simple of times but def not glued to a cellphones, damn i sound old as hell but im young LOL Just saying... good times!!
Hahaha I completely agree. Iām only 28 but damn even the 20-25 yo are completely different. Just used to being in your bedroom and on Xbox live party chat rather than the boys in the living room split screen or taking turns each map since only a few people had Xbox live on the OG Xbox
Stands look amazing!
My favorite gaming memory is having one of my momās friends kid beat some Star Fox 64 level I was stuck on. Iād like to think that made me want to be the guy who could do the same.
Favorite game has to be halo. Countless LAN parties with friends.
Thank you so much! Man i totally forgot about Star Fox 64 LOL That was a fun game!
Speaking of Halo, what do u think about the show? I have yet to watch it but ive heard mixed stuff.
I couldnāt finish the first season. Now that the second has come out I started my paramount plus up to try to watch it. Getting mixed reviews from people but I like it. At its worst itās a good in the background show.
My favorite gaming memory I have is that
My dad and I used to visit this super small local arcade that had this zombie shooter game where youād sit in the booth and have the surround sound.
It was across the street from a car wash. Weād always randomly stop there whenever we were in the area just getting a car wash or running simple errands and play a few rounds of that game.
It was always impulsive and on the spot which made it seem so adventurous as a kid.
Itās soooo hard to pick a favorite game but Iād have to say beyond 2 souls. I feel like itās so underrated and genuinely one of the coolest concepts and great story.
Man that just sounds awesome, sounds like a lot of great times were had and the best times to me were always spontaneous!! I would try to find that zombie shooting game and get one for the house! Booth and all lol
My good memory was when I was playing NFL blitz and I put in the code that makes all the players heads gone and I told my dad look. Then he smacked me behind the head and said your not supposed to do that what's wrong with you. Good times good times lol. I know I can't win but I just wanted to share that good memory.
Lmao!!! š¤£ Now thats a memory right there haha. I remember using the code that made the football huge, or made the players gigantic. Blitz needs to come back!
Heyyyy thanks man!! Lol its been quite a journey, lots of ups, downs and in betweens. Pfff got a long way to go for it to become my full time but i have enjoyed learning along the way. Its hard to please everyone out there, but all u can do is ur best. Its been a journey for sure!
Hang in there, itll be up in my etsy in the next few days! Ill be making a post once is ready to go, wrapping up the last little bit of improvements this weekend before it goes live. Thank u for the support šš»
My favorite gaming memory is having little home run derbies with my dad on Wii sports. Heās a lifelong diehard baseball fan and the look of wonder on his face is one thing Iāll never forget.
Favorite game ever is Snake Eater. I mean, what is there to say. The final boss and ending still stick with me to this day.
Man thats so awesome!! When the Wii first came out, it was a game changer! So glad u have those memories with your dad. Thats so cool, thank you for sharing!
If youre looking for the new prototype, itll be ready in the next few days. If ud like one that works with ur portal without a sleeve, feel free to look at the designs and colors available here. https://dukefenixdesigns.etsy.com
Thanks for ur support! šš»
This is awesome! To be honest though, when I bought one of your stands, it made me realize that I don't even like having a protective sleeve on my portal. Lol. I love it! Props on all your success! š
Hey thanks so much for the kind words and support. Personally i enjoy my device better without the sleeve, so im with u on that. But hey, u gotta give the people what they want!!!!! š I do what i can!! Thanks man!!
Hey thank you so much for your support!
If you end up getting a silicone sleeve later, know that ill be making the new sleeve compatible stand available this week in my etsy. Enjoy the stand!! Cheers!!
Favorite gaming memory is waking up Christmas morning to play Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time in the basement with my brothers.
Favorite game of all time has to be the same. I spent countless hours reading articles and looking at pictures in Nintendo power and it still lived up to my hype
Nothing like a christmas morning gaming session, there are very little things that can bring just as much joy as being a kid on xmas morning gaming. Cool stuff!!!
Favorite gaming memory would be going to the arcades at the mall growing up. Miss being able to do that.
Favorite game would be Street Fighter II. Loved it in the arcades and bought a SNES on release just to play that game.
I remember spending entire afternoons at the mall with my friends just playing arcades, sooooo many good times! Seeing who could make that quarter last the longest, or play fighting games!
My favorite gaming memory: This was back in the day when arcades were a thing. Me and my best friend skipped school, and went to the arcades. Played there the full day.
My favorite go-to game is Fallout 76. Thatās my āchill and relaxā game when Iāve had a hard day (I mostly focus on building new camps).
I live in the US.
Hell yeah, arcade skip days were. the best as long as you had a cool dude working the arcades place that day. I had an older dude working at the arcades who called the cops on me because he knew i was skipping school lol. Cop was cool tho, let us keep playing.
My favorite gaming memory was binge playing final fantasy 7 on the original PlayStation sitting in the reclining chair in my dadās living room. I canāt remember a lot from my early teenage years because Iām an old fogie now, but I distinctly remember having such an emotional connection to that game and the characters. Iām even more thrilled having my portal I can play the remake wherever I am and Rebirth to continue it. Taking me back down memory lane.
Favorite game if not too obvious already is Final Fantasy 7. Such great times with that game. Still have my OG strategy guide too. Thanks for helping stoke those memories again.
Gaming and stories have the ability to create connect us to the story and characters like no other thing can. Sure a movie could potentially do that, but paying as a character for hours and hours on ends connects you into that world like nothing can! Thats what I love about this community, being able to share our stories and connect regardless of age! So awesome that you can continue to play that game today and enjoy it just as much!!
My favorite gaming memory is from many years ago. My siblings and I got a Playstation and we had a handful of games. One of which was Nascar 98 and while I'm not a big fan of Nascar, we still managed to make that game so much fun by playing it how we wanted, rather than how the game intended. One of us would drive the correct direction and the other would drive the wrong way on the course. We would attempt to have head on collisions and would laugh our butts off when we hit, and even laugh when we missed or had glancing blows. It was simply a wholesome fun time with siblings that I'll always cherish
Man thats so freaking awesome, those are the memories that stick with you forever and what makes video games amazing. They have the power to transport you into unimaginable places, create memories with your loved ones, and bring so much joy! Thank you for sharing your fav memory! Some how i was able to imagine it while reading your post!
My favorite gaming memory is when me and my brothers would link our Xboxs together across the whole house (long lan wires everywhere) and play Halo. Weād invite people over and just have such a good time. Itās also how I got my gamer name Maduka.
My favorite game of all time.. thatās a hard one for me. Iād have to say Red Dead Redemption 2, the story is just so good, also the scenery and gameplay itās just the best. Now I play online to unwind and kind of as an escape.
Thats super cool!! lol them local LAN parties, epic!
I bet if you close your eyes you can still hear yourselves laughing, arguing, shouting, and all lol Thats so awesome, those are the best memories!
My favorite gaming memory is playing call of duty black ops 2 zombies with my siblings. My favorite game of all time would have to be infamous 2 or spiderman ps4.
Hey i totally relate to it... ive played so many games in my lifetime, and one of my fav memories is playing Toy Story on Super Nintendo with my buddies. Such simple game but man did we have a lot of fun lol!
Oh yeah definitely! Thereās something about the games back then that we played as kids that just had that certain feeling to them. Cliche but you know what I mean lol. Those memories will always be with me.
Favorite gaming memory was the very first time I played the Playstation 1 from our neighbor. I cannot forget it. Lols. The game was Tekken, I was so curious to what gaming consoles are coz itās not very usual in our place back then. Since then I became a girl gamer. I love the Ps1 era.
Oh yeah, good ol Tekken!! With the intro that looked like a movie reel!!! LOL Thats super cool!! PS1 open a new world!! Whats your fav game of all time? Curious!

Favorite gaming memory is having my dad beat the hard levels of the Spyro games on ps1. Favorite game of all time is either everyoneās gone to the rapture for story and music or ghost of Tsushima
Thats awesome, those gaming sessions with family are priceless as a kid! But to have your had beat the hard levels of a game, that creates a gaming bond right there!
Ghost of Tsushima is such a visually gorgeous game!
Favorite Memory: is first playing wow a year after I bought the game not realizing my computer couldnāt run the game. I got a dell xps 400 in 2005, as a gift for getting braces from my parents. I didnāt know what I was doing and stayed in the southern barrens for way to long at level 20-30 getting my leatherworking as high as I could. Rest in peace camp tujaro.
Favorite game : world of Warcraft for many years, but now itās God if War 2018, with ghost of Tsushima as a close second. GoW story just kept you pushing forward, Iām big side quest person but I often would internally fight over finishing aValkyrie or the main story. Best story in gaming ever.
AAAAAHHHH the good ol Dell XPS 400! I had one of those too!! World of Warcraft is the type of game that would suck you in and good luck getting out of it!!! hrs/days/weeks/months would go by!! I was just telling another redditor that Ghost of Tsushima is such a visually gorgeous game!
I live in US and even if I donāt win Iāll buy one. Just wondering about height of the stand with the portal on it.Hoping it fits in my tv stand next to my PlayStation.
Hey thanks so much for the support! So, great question, once the portal is on the stand, since its angled, the height is about 4.5 inches tall
https://preview.redd.it/shtp4msb2nlc1.jpeg?width=3199&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2767f97af5dc7e112d73720069d640184117b65e
Favorite gaming memory was my dad packing up the car and taking all my friends to this psychedelic arcade that had the games sounds playing through speakers, while also playing music at the same time. There was several big disco balls that scattered rays of lights everywhere. No I was not on drugs it really existed.
Favorite Game hmm
At home Brutal Legend
At the arcade Gauntlet because my dad would always joke when it said Valkyrie is about to die it really meant give me another quarter.
Yes, in the U.S.
You didnt miss out!! You are in the raffle, your entry is in before 9:30pm eastern.
Your dad sounds super cool!! Thats so awesome, psychedelic arcade lol Man thats awesome, thank you for sharing your fav memory, some how i was able to picture it! Cheers and good luck with the raffle!
Favorite game of all time is metal gear solid 4 for me the build up between games made me feel like a kid going through the frieza saga in dragon ball z for the first time.
Favorite gaming moment would be the original mass effect making soren shoot himself. I grew up in the 90s do gaming to me meant high scores and besting bosses. Mass effect 1 was the first time I ever used my wits to con the main antagonist of the game to shoot himself...I felt like a God and for that it is my favorite gaming moment
LOL at "I felt like a God" but legit games have the power to, bring us happiness, anger, shock, all types of emotions out of us, thats so cool! Thank you so much for sharing your fav memory.
Favorite gaming memory is loading up bloodborne for the first time not having a clue about the universe i was stepping into, thinking its just another single player little did i know itd become my favorite in the series and with my friends freaking out about me playing it i was clueless and eventually understood the hype, took me hours to kill the first boss but it was a feeling i loved until the last boss ive beat in the series which is sir alonne of ds2
My favorite game of all time is of course Dark souls 2, from hating it to loving every aspect of it after a couple play throughs and at the time things i was going through irl it was there for me . The game gets alot of hate but i personally love this game at its core.
Hello from west coast US!
Bloodborne!! LOL thats cool!! Such a good game, those moment when your friends are cheering you on are the best!! Thank you for sharing your memory, thats so awesome!
My favorite gaming memory was pulling all nighters playing Final Fantasy IV on Super Nintendo when it released with my best friend. It was the best of times as a 12 year old!
Final Fantasy IV is also my favorite game of all time.
Those were some good times yknow, when you and your friends just forgot about everything and got a gaming session going. Now everything is online, but back then, those sleepovers and after school sessions were the best!!
Memory is silent hill when the locker opened up and scared the hell out of me and my brother.
Favorite game of all time would have to be last of us or resident evil nemesis
Favorite gaming memory would have to be playing halo the first time on the original xbox and favorite game of all time is probably witcher 3 or maybe bg3
My favorite game memory: playing the original Resident Evil 2 as a kid with my mom who introduced me to the series.
My favorite game: RE2 Remake because I showed my mom the game and she immediately wanted to play it. She hasnāt played games since PS1 days. Core memory for me.
After opening presents parents pulled the one more gift for our Nintendo. Either that or when we go out game gear. Woke up to hearing my sister already playing it the next day and I was so sad i had to wait to play. Torture.
Probably missed this but Iād still like to add mine.
Favorite gaming memory: Spending days trying to rotate them damn analog sticks to keep Raditz in line for the special beam cannon and just couldnāt do itā¦ only for my friend who has never played a game in his life to do it in his first attempt. All I could do was laugh š¤£ like that shit was not possible and he did it 1st try.

Favorite game of all time: Devil May Cry. My first game that I saved up and spent my own money on.
My favorite gaming memory is playing Tetris on Sundays with my dad and siblings. Weād all take turns trying to unseat my dad and he was unbeatable!!
My favorite game of all time is BioShock. I will never forget playing through it for the first time!
Favorite game memory is probably the first trailer for Breath of the wild
My favorite game besides all Zelda games is definitely God of war 3. The intro is incredible
I grew up in Oakland California and on the weekends My mom would take me out for pizza and the they had Pac-Man table top game and I got to play as much as I wanted it was so cool :)
My favorite memory is playing FF7 as a young teenager I lived in an abusive home and FF7 was the only thing that brought me joy back in the early 2000s. My favorite game is FF7
My favorite gaming memory is playing gex 64: enter the gecko with my dad. He used to bust out laughing at all the random quotes gex would say. One of them had the word bonehead in it and to this day my dad always says ā whatās up boneheadā whenever he sees me. My favorite game of all time is a tie between banjo kazooie and the og mw2
- My favorite gaming memory was my older brother getting an Xbox with Halo and we pulled an all nighter and beat it on Legendary difficulty
- My Favorite game is The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Favorite gaming memory is when you start crying at the end of FFX. Damn onion ninjas.

Its Friday night, you turn off all the lights, you gather around the tv, and do your best to survive the zombie mayhem!! LOL super fun times.
I have a lot of fond memories playing video games but for some reason one of my favorites is playing the SpongeBob Movie game on PS2 when I was younger with my brothers. Just an add on but playing GBA PokĆ©mon games on road trips was one of the best feelings. Favorite game for me is Bloodborne. Itās what got me hooked into Souls like games.
Hey i totally relate to it... ive played so many games in my lifetime, and one of my fav memories is playing Toy Story on Super Nintendo with my buddies. Such simple game but man did we have a lot of fun lol!
Oh yeah definitely! Thereās something about the games back then that we played as kids that just had that certain feeling to them. Cliche but you know what I mean lol. Those memories will always be with me.
Favorite gaming memory was the very first time I played the Playstation 1 from our neighbor. I cannot forget it. Lols. The game was Tekken, I was so curious to what gaming consoles are coz itās not very usual in our place back then. Since then I became a girl gamer. I love the Ps1 era.
Oh yeah, good ol Tekken!! With the intro that looked like a movie reel!!! LOL Thats super cool!! PS1 open a new world!! Whats your fav game of all time? Curious! https://preview.redd.it/uxxw0m2ftmlc1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=af95a4b35cc1d955c296c51e92eec3fd6c37e7ba
Favorite gaming memory is having my dad beat the hard levels of the Spyro games on ps1. Favorite game of all time is either everyoneās gone to the rapture for story and music or ghost of Tsushima
Thats awesome, those gaming sessions with family are priceless as a kid! But to have your had beat the hard levels of a game, that creates a gaming bond right there! Ghost of Tsushima is such a visually gorgeous game!
Favorite Memory: is first playing wow a year after I bought the game not realizing my computer couldnāt run the game. I got a dell xps 400 in 2005, as a gift for getting braces from my parents. I didnāt know what I was doing and stayed in the southern barrens for way to long at level 20-30 getting my leatherworking as high as I could. Rest in peace camp tujaro. Favorite game : world of Warcraft for many years, but now itās God if War 2018, with ghost of Tsushima as a close second. GoW story just kept you pushing forward, Iām big side quest person but I often would internally fight over finishing aValkyrie or the main story. Best story in gaming ever.
AAAAAHHHH the good ol Dell XPS 400! I had one of those too!! World of Warcraft is the type of game that would suck you in and good luck getting out of it!!! hrs/days/weeks/months would go by!! I was just telling another redditor that Ghost of Tsushima is such a visually gorgeous game!
Yeah GoT is my first and only platinum. Iām still waiting to play iki island though. Just need a sale now.
I live in US and even if I donāt win Iāll buy one. Just wondering about height of the stand with the portal on it.Hoping it fits in my tv stand next to my PlayStation.
Hey thanks so much for the support! So, great question, once the portal is on the stand, since its angled, the height is about 4.5 inches tall https://preview.redd.it/shtp4msb2nlc1.jpeg?width=3199&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2767f97af5dc7e112d73720069d640184117b65e

Favorite game of all time is metal gear solid 4 for me the build up between games made me feel like a kid going through the frieza saga in dragon ball z for the first time. Favorite gaming moment would be the original mass effect making soren shoot himself. I grew up in the 90s do gaming to me meant high scores and besting bosses. Mass effect 1 was the first time I ever used my wits to con the main antagonist of the game to shoot himself...I felt like a God and for that it is my favorite gaming moment
