Titolo: [semi OT+] ibrido console-pc in arrivo

Hello, All!
a me pare una cagata di idea, perchè ha un costo da pc e non è un closed box 
come una console vera
Anniston, Alabama JULY 11, 2006 - Today the Envizions Computer Entertainment
Corporation announced that the Evo: Phase One media entertainment console
will go on sale via the internet October 20, 2006. The suggested retail

demand application pre-installed, plus, customers can apply an additional
discount on over 1,600 games from the Evo: Direct store upon purchase of
their EVO unit.
Evo: Phase One combines computer, media center, and PC gaming into one unit.
The system will also boast amazing graphics supported by the Sapphire RADEON
HDMI X1600 Pro graphic card. The Sapphire RADEON X1600 Pro has 12 pixel
pipelines that provides the highest graphics performance in its class even
for shader intensive gaming. Equipped with 128MB of DDR3 memory and this
model features clock speeds of 500MHz (core) and 800MHz (memory). Other key
features include customized liquid cooling system, built-in biometric
fingerprint reader and digital video recording features. EVO is designed
much like a PC, customers can purchase extended warranties and get next day

packages. The system's online and networkability will be more apparent in

expand. EVO will give customers the option to upgrade certain aspects of the
system. The EVO: Phase One will offer one package option, with the suggested
retail price of $679.99 . The package will carry one wireless PC game
controller and a EVO: Direct discount card. Other accessories will sell
separately. In addition, customers can order customize EVO paint
applications upon request.
Derrick Samuels CEO and Founder reported today. "Evo will be one of the
first true gaming hybrid consoles that will be built -to-order with few
restrictions, but at the same time offer a platform that will constantly
evolve to suit the customer's need. Evo is a computer but it will also
provide the entire family the opportunity to access the different
applications throughout the home via wireless network." Samuels added, " The
final hardware units should be done in late August and is greatly improved
from the unit displayed at E3 this year in Los Angeles. Upon request units
will be available for review. Envizions' goal is to build on quality,
service and reliability. To reward our customers we plan to ship all
pre-orders first since the unit will have a limited release qualities
available at launch.

Qualcuno ebbe la stessa trovata circa 2 anni fa, la console Phantom. La 
societa' che la porto' avanti raccolse molti fondi ma non usci fuori una 
ceppa di niente, tutt'ora il progetto e' ancora "vivo". Ma credo che stiano 
li' solo a pappare denaro..

E qui e' quando quelli di HardOCP provarono a buttarglielo in culo:

mouse e poi me la compro....

Eh ma questi sono di fatto PC che userebbero sistemi come Steam, Triton e
il cazzo che se li frega per scaricare giochi.

il fatto che dicano 'oltre 1600 già pronti' mi fa sospettare che i giochi si 
installano come in tutti i pc, magari ci affiancano un sistema tipo steam, 
anzi quasi sicuramente....
in pratica si tratta di un pc con un case tipo console, ma un pc a tutti gli 
effetti..


 effetti..
Un PC cacareño per essere venduto come nuova macchina da gioco.

 mouse e poi me la compro....
Ti quoto come solo il quote più rombante e assordante della terra potrebbe 
fare.
Il solo ed unico motivo per cui non compro una console è l'assenza di mouse 
e tastiera.
