Bluestacks To Lauch Gamepop, A Supscription based Android Console

Let’s face it, no matter how big any of these
turn out to be, gaming on them still wouldn’t be as fun as when you do it on an actual, full-size TV. There’s a certain type of immersion that you can only get from a 40- or 50-inch flatscreen television while playing with the lights off and 5.1-channel surround sound blasts all around you from a stereo in the same room. In light of this — a software company responsible for a popular Android emulator for the desktop — has announced that it will now offer its very own Android games console to try and take on the whole Android gaming industry and turn it up… to 12.

It’s called GamePop, and it has just been made available as the first free Android games console — with a slight twist. You can only get it through a month-long promotion as part of a $6.99 monthly service subscription. In other words, it’s a subscription-based gaming service not unlike similar offerings that we’ve already seen before. But BlueStacks is trying to differentiate GamePop from everything else by bundling a free console and controller as part of the monthly service.
