Awesome idea as a concept, flawed by the use of IGP.

How easy will it be to use? Can I just turn it on, put a disk in and start playing or will I need a redhat certification just to install a new game?

The handheld Pandora seems more interesting.

Finally a new console that Wii owners can make fun of for its lack of 3D graphics power

The Game Park GP2x Wiz handheld is also more interesting than this. though it's apparently been delayed until December. ( Dynamism page )

I mean would a 4850 really break the bank here?

Uhm, how does the PS3 not absolutely destroy this? They keep bringing up the fact that it is a Linux gaming platform, the PS3 is too for free if users want to have it, not many do, for free..... with WAY more gaming power then this has, not seeing this taking the market by storm.

Agreed. This is destined to fail.

The PS3 isn't really a linux gaming system. The GPU is unreachable with the current setup and performance as a whole is gimped.

An interesting idea, but rendered completely worthless by the IGP.

Why would a console have 2 Ethernet ports, and a biometric scanner.
