answer: the indrema console.
I just brought a ps2 and I am damn pleased with it. Not only is the dvd sound quality superb and games line up outstanding but multiplayer games like quake let you have up to 32 players with iLink! Plus a lot more hidden features yet to see daylight
Until the other day I thought ps2 could wipe out x box and gamecube with its forthcoming 40Gb hard drive and its 100Mps Broadband compatable ethernet connection.
That was until I saw the indreema console.
Heard of it? I doubt it. You've all got your heads clouded by how amazing the x box is gonna be or how the 'girly-gamecube' is shaping up.

They are not experienced enough, and they have no third party support to do such thing.
Your're talking to experts here mate.
*SARCASM MODE ON*
Oh what a surprise...
*SARCASM MODE OFF*

This again........idrema, idrema, idrema.....heard it over a million times!
Ok, the specs are reasonable, but nothing THAT amazing. The only big thing that sticks out to me is that it runs Linux as its OS, A GOOD THING!
As has been already said, because theres no hype around it, no-ones heards of it, i fear it will fall beside the wayside, another AMiga CD-32, or Atari Jaguar......

The Indrema will be an excellent system, and if it's good enough, then I may be one to purchase it.
BUT, with the PS2 and Dreamcast going quite well at the moment (especially with the DC being so cheap,) and with the GameCube and X-Box coming out, I think the Indrema will be shoved aside.
Hopefully not, though.

Ha! Haven't heard of it?!
The Indrema Entertainment System has been around for months, news of it anyway. There is now way that this machine will have any chance of comparing with the PS2 GC or X-Box. The money and advertising just isn't there!
Indrema have about as much chance of dominating or even having a big effect on the market as SNIPER does of winning Gameaday with one of his tacky moaning one-liners. Or as much chance as Huddersfield do of winning the Premiership!
I.E - THEY HAVEN'T EVEN GOT A CHANCE!
Indrema ES is the next CD-i, I guaran-damn-tee it!
The Game
