Another Console at E3 other than the famous Phantom

Zapages · May 6th, 2003

Check this new console called
Discover.

This is hilarious in my opinion, now Microsoft has success in the gaming market. Now everyone thinks they can get it....

eh...i wouldn't be so quick to call it fake...companies were just trying to think of creative consoles that havent been done before...

need we make the same mistakes as we have done before, must we repeat the cd-i and jaguar? Just hinting at crappy consoles

But I guess they or even we wont know if indeed these "new" consoles are going to be anything good until they (if even) are released. IMO, they aint going anywhere with their idea.....

Kazuya Mishima · May 7th, 2003

In my opinion their idea its not going to be good. In these days its hard to compete in the videogame market. Xbox has only survived because micro$oft has lots of money and i dont think they would have that much to be losing money just for the pleasue of having a console in the market...

Err... did you guys even read the article? It actually sounds like an interesting idea. It's not so much a new console, as a new technology. A way to play PC games on the TV without a fancy rig. Here's a quote from the article:

"So what differentiates a DISCover unit from a PC? Simplicity. Windows XP is imbedded in the unit and it will come preloaded with the installation files for an enormous list of already existing PC games, allowing you to “drop and play” the games rather than manually installing them. The list of compatible games will be available in the manual and online and will be updated regularly as new games are released. Once these new games hit shelves, just turn on your unit, head over to the website, install the execute information, and pop in your new disc."

even if the ugly looking pic of a console design from the 90's were true, it would simply fail.

Kazuya Mishima · May 7th, 2003

Its still the same. Another compertitor in the market would be useless and its destined to fall. (yes i kniow its like a pc) Btw, im really waiting to watch BSOD in my own tv¡¡¡¡¡

That controller was the ugliest thing I've ever seen. What a waste of plastic that could have rather been used for milk cartons.

kain425 · May 7th, 2003
