Why? This makes the PS3 look soooo much more appealing!

I' ve editted and posted the specs.

It' s actually not so bad for people who aren' t that keen on PC' s.

Much like the Playstation 3, if you look at it like a gaming PC, It' s quite nicely priced. Look at both of them, any way else, and they' re still ridiculously priced game systems. Granted, if cost wasn' t a factor, I' d consider looking into it... but $679.99? Something tells me this one' s gonna go the way of the Phantom.

Agreed.

Still, i' m curious how their game download service would work. I' m presuming the games are installed just like on PC and they' ll take up space on the drive.

So, how many games would you be able to fit onto the 80GB HDD when you' ll have a ton of HD video and music stuff on there too?!

Smells like someone trying to hitch a ride on the HD wave, and doing it badly.

Hands up who' s buying this system?

Something tells me this one' s gonna go the way of the Phantom.

Ahhh. A console which stayed true to its name.

** same as maj - but superglue **

*Allows an elephant to step on both his hands*

*hands in the air*


*notices that everyone else are keeping their hands down*

*slowly takes hands down, pretending like nothing happened*

*hopes that no one noticed me*

*Holds gun to Ginjirou' s head*

Buy a 360 non-conformist!

I think invitation cards works better than guns.
