Ecco alcune immagini della nuova console by Infinitum Lab.
Da un comunicato ufficiale scopriamo alcune interessanti novità al riguardo:
"Inside the spacy-looking case it's just a PC running Windows XP that has no CD or floppy drive, and uses a proprietary encryption scheme for data stored on its hard drive.
The specs for the final, finished version that will be shipped to end users are still in flux, but at the $400 price point mentioned by Infinium CEO Tim Roberts while he and I were looking at a mockup hidden away at respected (but low-profile) Robrady Design in Sarasota, Florida, it ought to be no big deal to deliver a 2GHz Mini-ATX PC with a wireless keyboard, mouse, and cool-looking game controller.
In fact, Roberts said during our chat, one of the reasons now is a better time than the height of the dot-boom to launch Infinium Labs is that "component prices have dropped" enough to make this computer feasible at $400 per unit, a`price even lower than the $600 to $700 he spoke of as recently as February.
Really, the only thing that differentiates this 'game console' from a standard, Windows-running PC is that it has no way to get data on or off of it except through a dedicated connection to Infinium Labs' own servers via your broadband ISP, plus the fact that if you try to open it up or modify it or grab data from the hard drive, bad things will happen, starting with violation of the terms under which you will lease or purchase the Phantom
In addition to the fast processor and OS, the Phantom will also come with hardware support for component video connections and Dolby Digital 7.1 audio, as well as a built-in cable or DSL modem or a WIFI card.
"Currently, we already have commitments for 5,000 titles to come on our system at launch," said Roberts. "[W]e’re not going to get every top title out there, but we know we’ll launch with 20 of the top 200 titles at launch, and continue to add those top titles in the months ahead."
In pratica un pc con Windows XP (speriamo con Sp1a
), processore INtel a 2 Ghz, Dolby Digital a 7+1 canali e oltre 5000 titoli in commissione per il lancio.
Niente male
non bastava Xbox.......
con questa cosa potremmo fare oltre a quello che già sa fare un xbox e un comune pc??
