There has been a lot of buzz about this console. I'd love to see how much this will cost. D/L the spec sheet. It's a high end computer in there. I'm not paying $500 for a console.

Posted by: dethangel

yes it does appear that it will be pretty pricey

and the fact that you dont get games, you dl em, i dont think that will work (whats to stop someone from dl a bunch of games, then selling a clone of the HDD? that would be easy!) but its one of the coolest ideas ive ever seen, an upgradeable console, thats pretty cool

I don't like that it's built off of XP kernel. Figures MS has to be in there somewhere.

---

Posted by: dethangel

yah, microsoft should be in there as it is one of the best software developers out there, and the XP kernel is very good

yeah it's just a mass produced high end computer designed for computer illiterate gamers. did you guys noticed they don't even have a picture of a prototype on that site? all i saw was a few 3D renders.

i bet if they don't get enough pre-orders they will scrap the project. this is too experimental and the price is too high, they will have to redesign the whole concept before this hits the mainstream consumer market. (did that even make sense?)

If you don't have cable or DSL your not testing anything as it doesn't come with games... you have to DL them. On top of that, i hear it has a built in gadget so that you can't tie up servers with slow download speeds, hence on the beta test questionaire they ask you your speed.

Also, the last public price list had it going for $499.

If I dont get my cable line running threw before then i can talke it to my friendswho has DSL. I told them that my line was pending and still got shot at it.

Next gen gaming console, IMO, will take microsoft's lead and be based, at least on part, of the pc design. nintendo may stay away from that but i heard that sony will use amd chips in the next playstation.

i hope phantom comes out. be a very nice console. but expensive.

Posted by: ThirtySixBelow

Doesnt seem like it will be a hit, probably will cost 500+ dollars and will have a small gamming base/selection.

I don't understand how M$ could help another gaming console, have they forgot about xBox? Oh well, i they go under it's all for the best.
