@ChiTownDoc the trouble is, that 16Gb most probably will be NAND not a normal disk drive, so not sure if it'd be possible to sling a sizeable drive in there to get a PS3 on the cheap.
OK. Using the photos I measured the ethernet port and they're around 2cm wide.
I then used that to work out the size of this thing, the picture of the rear isn't quite taken dead on, but close enough.
This thing is around 6.2cm tall - PS3 Slim is 6.5cm and that might include feet, which aren't visible in photo.
It is around 28cm long, PS3 Slim is 29cm.
So given that the photo isn't taken quite straight, this c...
Looks bigger than the Slim... must be a fake.
If you look at his statement he is overdrawn.
So clearly not well off unless he has riches in other accounts.
@lampoflava yes but it isn't the same kind of RAM, and also it isn't quite as simple as that either.
You're right about failure though - even if this wasn't able to play games at all it is still a good buy for those reasons.
I'm surprised this has a lot of disagrees compared to agrees.
This is one of the few true comments on here.
As you say the UDK is fully scalable - it supports mobile devices for example.
There is no reason why the Wii U could not therefore be able to run UE4 in terms of the technical limitations it provides, but weather or not Epic provide the in-built tools to do it is another matter.
It is successful because people think it is going to be amazing.
But it won't live up to expectations.
Like the guy above, 'it has free games'. No. It will have free to play games which will contain adverts or be diluted heavily.
Just check out the free games in the Android marketplace.
It'll be the games you see on your mobile now, on your TV.
I can count on one hand how many games there are ...
You clearly didn't read my comment again.
I don't own an Xbox so I am not an Xbox fanboy.
Nor do I give two hoots about Kinect and if it is available or not.
I am FOR having Kinect and TV and movies all in one device.
You are missing the point completely.
If it is a hardcore gaming machine it would not be a multimedia centre. It wouldn't have the bells and whistles.
It would be a ...
Fan boy? Did you read my comment.
I didn't say it wouldn't be a hardcore machine. I said it will be a one-device-does-all box that incorporates Kinect, TV, music and movie streaming AS WELL AS being a strong gaming machine.
A 'hardcore' machine would not have Kinect, it would not have the bells and whistles. 100% of the power and cost would go on the gaming side of things.
I don't even have an Xbox, so how could I be an Xb...
Who says this is selling at a loss?
And when they say hackable they mean you can root the Android system to do what you please.
They don't mean you can hack our marketplace and games.
It'll make it easier to do that, however.
Yeah - but what I'm saying is some people talk as if there will be amazing visual games that rival your triple A games of today.
But there won't be.
I mean take Dead Trigger. This game looks great on a phone, a tablet. It is a fun game. However, it doesn't have much depth to it.
Why? It is a mobile game that's designed for you to play at your leisure at the bus stop, on your lunch break etc.
The best you'l...
They will have Android games. Enjoy Angry Birds and Shadowgun.
I'll just be other there playing some actual games.
Though don't get me wrong, for a mobile device Shadowgun and Dead Trigger are really decent but reading a lot of comments some people seem to think they're going to get all these amazing games, when all this is is a mobile device with a controller but no screen.
It isn't a new platform, it is Android with a nice l...
If you saw the leak it is blatently obvious that this is not going to be a 'hardcore' console. It is going to be the only box you need for your living room.
That means Kinect. That means live TV. That means music and movie streaming.
Don't panic though, that doesn't mean gaming comes second and is an after thought that is a pile of poo - it'll no doubt be great for gaming, you'll just have all the frills with it.
It is just a glorified Android 'mini-PC' with a custom market and a controller.
I guess that last bit could be the crucial part.
$99 isn't a bad price for the spec even if you didn't use it for games, though.
I imagine more like what they showed at E3. You'd be playing your games and have like a ticker at the bottom showing you the latest scores of games, or perhaps breaking news. That kind of thing.
This won't be the only pricing option, you'll still have a one-off fee option.
Don't forget the leaked document did mention similar TV things and the inclusion of a DVR and it is also clear from the document that Microsoft is aiming to be the only box in your living room.
It can't do that without 'decent' live TV.
How good is US cable coverage? I don't think the UK's is good enough for this model.
I could easily see it happening with an IPTV provider like BT Vision, however.
Microsoft Mediaroom already runs BT Vision's set top box.
Indeed, when MS announced the $99 Xbox 360 trial - which is now being rolled out after being successful - I thought it would be an ideal test for the potential of having a $99 Xbox 720 on a similar deal.
That puts pay to all of those people crying "economy! economy!" when people say that a console with beefy specs is going to cost a load of dosh that people don't currently have, despite splashing similar amounts on iPhones and iPads.
But why do ...
@inveni0
People made the same comment before the deal was even announced back when this was a rumour pre-E3.
So they didn't rip your comment off.
What non-sense.
We don't know what the screenshots were taken from. If you ask me the screenshots also looked worse than the trailer.
Certainly not on par with the graphically acclaimed PS3 exclusives.
They looked decent, but certainly doesn't scream 'call off the next-gen'.
Just take one second to recall the reaction Watchdogs got.
That wasn't people amazed at gameplay, they were in awe o...
