wot do u think of it
Hmm.. it's a nice idea, but reeks of expense and lies. Internet, playing all these games, and it's 'all console beating power' will up the price quite a bit. Then there's downloading all these games. Not only will it be time consuming, but pricey too. And 33,000? Please.
Even if it IS true, I can never see it beating the likes of Sony, Nintendo or even Microsoft.

thats wat it sed in the news article.have u read it
if you ask me its just a set-top box and probably like the sky digibox thing it'll let you play space invaders by downloading it first
Downloading games should be a breeze with broadband.
It won't have big devellopment scale class games like Halo, might well be worth cheap fun games, especially when it comes to multiplayer.

If there small games then yes download would be easy, less then 10MB is acceptable as 512K gets around 3+mb a min average of 200MB an hour at pretty much flat out, and 400MB per hour for 1mbit cable.
If its a cheap console that say offers games like SNES and maybe even the old N64 games as they were on cartridges as little as 8MB(64mbit) then it may be worth a purchase. Downloading games that are on PS2, XBox and GC would take too long on Broadband as most will be 1GB+ with some probably filling a DVD.

I highly doubt this console is real. But it it is, my only addition to this convesation is:
Hmm...

Nicking other consoles' games - illegal, isn't it?
