you could name them..chameleons since everything about that is a knockoff of other consoles, thus copying like a chameleon? :P little long for a nickname..let me think..

IF it can't hold long enough, the fanboy's won't get a name, like the Ngage, Gizmondo, etc.

It looks and sounds like a dvr that plays games. And it looks like it will only be competing with wii and PS2 in terms of graphics. I dont know if this one is gonna make it guys...

Edit: Lets call them pingus like in yeti sports :P

You don't get a pet name unless you manage to survive at least one generation :P

We only started calling lemmings lemmings around the time the 360 was annouced.

That's hardley a console. It's a small form factor linux box funning Fedora 8 with a wirless controller. I have a slack box at home on a mini-itx board that's almost the same thing, except I use a wired controller.

this is very real, $250 and it can run crysis on it. seriously, it has 2.9Ghz CPU (ps3 has 3.2ghz) and 2GB ram, 1.5gb more than the 360 with a 120gb or 250gb HDD. for $250! the only thing missing is software. this could be a respectable system coz why would PC devs want to use ps3/360 inferior hardware if this gets popular? if it can sell, maybe get one killer app at launch ala halo for the xbox it will be a force or it could flop

No it can't run Crysis. It has a ATI 3200, that can bareley run Doom 3 on high.(Were talking 22fps)

i might be wrong there but its games would certainly have a graphically advantage over the consoles if used right

I think the playing feild would be about equal really. Remember it's all about the software usually. Developers ALWAYS go for the best balance of performce and cost. Realistically, none of the consoles have showen their true potential because it's just not financially viable to put that much time and effort into a specialized renderer.

Linux rocks. However, I don't like their choice of fedora. Ubuntu FTW. Hmm...Technically, openArena should run on that thing.

They prolly expect to sell like 1000 units or something, which makes me wonder why bother? No one will make serious games for such a small user base, nothing that couldn't be done on PC anyway.

Judging by the specs, it easily destroys any console.
