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."
When My graphic card alone cost that much.
I'm starting to think I'm getting ripped off from Nvidia and ATI here.
Why do evrybody still buying XboX? because Microsoft made ppl think the XboX is better, even if its not! lol they buy opinion from thoses who talked videogame on tv and radio, so they talked a lot of the XboX forgetting the 2 other/better console.. the only credit that i can give to the xbox is online play... HardDrive aint gonna make me wet... what's the hot in that? smooth save? hey! before trying to do smooth save... why not make SMOOTH LOAD! Nintendo were trying to do just that with their mini-cd format! and by the way... 733 Mhz of a 32 Bit proc on a windows based system is like having a 200 Mhz on a propriatary system, Nintendo and PS2 got better CPU... Graphics are better on XboX? yes... but in what way... ? game are less fun! tke a good concept est exploit it... do not give him good graphic and think ppl will love this... if your a 3D Digger... go to Imax and check out Pixar... they are good at it! good and fun game do not NEED good graphics... if it come with, great, that make a great game candy eying!
