the controler setup looks like the xbox controler setup...

http://phantom.net/i...ole_mock_up.gif

and it looks like the console will be even bigger then the xbox.

if it ever even makes it out I suspect it'll just crash and burn... I'll they'll be able to market it enough. plus the mock up is butt-ugly.

That's the biggest piece of vaporware bullsh1t I've seen lately! It's nothing more than some no-name company with huge promises looking for attention. No way that's gonna make it... besides:

Pay-per-play + So easy that a small child could use it =  laugh.gif

Gimme a break, nobody's gonna let their kid start charging up their credit cards at random like that. I certainly wouldn't.

...seamlessly upgrade your system requirements and patches.

What? Have they suddenly come up with a new way to send RAM over broadband?

This has gotta be a hoax. I could go on, but this *is* the Comedy forum, so it's obviously not meant to be taken seriously.  tongue.gif

Quite funny!

Maybe raping this console's security scheme will become a side project for us.

This is my Critiqe of this ***cough*** sh!t ***cough*** console
It is critiquing the features listed in the review HERE.

QUOTE
- Fastest console on the market


Usually the latest console out is the fastest.

QUOTE
- Broadest selection of preloaded games


Not a hard record to break.

QUOTE
- Cross Platform capabilities


Which platforms!? Have you gotten any console manufacturer to agree to this? Do you think MS would? Sony? Hell no.

QUOTE
- State of the art design and architecture


You already said that, ass. No need to restate, we know it will be the best until the NextBoX.

QUOTE
- Advanced accessories and wireless capabilities


Uh huh, just the usual accessories, M$ and $ony will match everything you try.

QUOTE
- Online connectivity for multi player gaming


Nothing new here.

QUOTE
- Seamless upgrades and patch management


Nothing new here, Upgrades avalible through Live.

QUOTE
- A multi tiered subscription service that meets the needs of casual, moderate and hard-core game


WTF? i thought you said that this was for only hardcore gamers!? (earlier in the review)

QUOTE
- Demo games before purchasing or subscribing


Really? So innovative! (Sarcasm)

QUOTE
- Games on demand


So i have to d/l them? Even with broadband it would be faster to go down to blockbuster. Unless the games are really small, in which case they invariably suck.

QUOTE
- Game Rentals


Blockbuster is really close to my house.

From what i understand, it is a pay per view type device. Think before you promote something like that.
