VIA/Apex Game Console Details Leaked

DammiTT writes "It seems that Apex are releasing a new PC-based 'console', using VIA components, later this year. It'll be announced during CES on January 8th." However, HardOCP already has some initial pictures and details up on its site, for this "ApeXtreme Personal Gaming Console and DVD Player", or PGC. According to this early, unconfirmed report, it's running a 1.4Ghz VIA chipset, the CN400, and "will be powered by a near-instant-on version of WinXP (embedded) with Windows Media Player, and... will have removable media in the form of DVD/CD." It comes with "a 40GB IDE hard drive... you can play DVD movies, audio and video CDs... [and] the price points will be at US$299 and US$399."

I mean honestly, do you really want to get into a console flame war? It's fine if you don't understand why anyone would buy a Gamecube or a PS2 but why try to incite an argument in the manner you have? Obviously you believe that no one should buy a Gamecube or a PS2 [ignoring anyone who bought a PS2 before the XBox was released and anyone who bought a PS2 or Gamecube before the XBox had been modded and software was written for it], and it doesn't appear that your opinion is going to change at any point. Why be so trollish?
