Evo - new console to appear this year ?

Wednesday 12 Jul 2006 : 00:39 AM



US firm Envizions Computer Entertainment today issued a press release claiming that it will release it's new console in October in the US and it will only be available to buy onine.

The idea that a virtually unknown can enter the console market with no backing from any game studios and presumably very little budget seems quite laughable (also see: the phantom) but actually this one may not be so silly.

From what we can see it's basically a media centre PC aimed at gamers meaning that thousands of games are already available and you'll be able to play them on your TV, with proper controllers! You'll also be able to download 1600 games from their online store.

It comes with video-on-demand software installed and with many people saying the blu-ray/HD DVD drives are only a stopgap to proper on demand services this may prove a very successful feature.

For a Media Centre PC it's also not that expensive at just under $700.

Still sound silly ?
