Being a startup in an industry that requires some combination of

a) Billions of dollars of investment

b) A stable of intellectual property

c) High volume electronics manufacturing capability

d) Ability to lose your ass financially for the first several years

e) Internal Hardware R&D capability


is going to make it incredilby difficult for a startup (much less an established company) to ever enter this arena again.

Intel seems perfect if not for option #2 :p

Nice idea but for that much you could build a nice computer thats upgradeable, maybe if it had upgrade options that would sweeten the deal. Yet why buy this over a console or a PC.

3-D graphics, wow.
And GHz hasn't meant anything in a loooooooooooong time :p
Athlon 64 3200+ is decent enough. The RAM and GPU will be a bottleneck long before the CPU.

Anniston, Alabama?!?!?

How in the world did a company in that shitty little town obtain the funding for this?!?

EDIT:

Okay...so I'm driving right by Anniston later today and I wanted to stop by to see if this company is legit. Google Maps doesn't recognize the number, but it is a real street.

Hopefully I can look into it later today. They did answer the phone when I called the number...

Perhaps a joke on investors?

Seriously though, I know nothing about the company and it could be legit, but I don't see anyone else possibly giving MS, Sony or Nintendo a run for their money in the games department.

THAT'S CHEAP WHEN YOU STOP AND THINK ABOUT ALL THE TECH YOU'RE GETTING!

what would that be, 2 year old hardware with a descent vid card?

I bet you could build a better pc cheaper, but why bother, get a 360 and be DONE with PC gaming forever. :lol

Everything about that seems completely fake, why are we even giving this any attention?

Amen. I am willing to bet that this is, indeed, another Phantom. Just another financial device crooked business men use to bilk money out of investors.

Yeah...I'm driving from ATL to BHAM later this afternoon, but I don't think I'll make it buy before they close at 5. I'll try my best, though. It's awesome to see a fellow poster from Alabama on the boards, even if you're sporting the Kirby's Air Ride avatar!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm fully behind the only console on the market that's Gamer Certified.
The Gamers Certified Creed:
The Evo Gamer Certified seal represents the highest level of quality and coolness pertaining to any aspect of gaming, to be expected from the EVO: Phase One entertainment console. Expect to feel the raw power and excitement that only one machine can deliver. Prepare!

Yes Sir!

the Evo forums appear to consist of three people.

The actual EVO image is hosted on Photobucket. Awesome. Then there's the link to a place that sells blinged out rims.

i'm sold.

i'm about to give them a call.

See, what confuses the hell out of me is that it's possible to get venture capital for non-projects like this or the Phantom. You'd think with as easily as venture capitalists part with their money according to these scams, it'd be real easy to start a nice indie publisher or a snazzy development studio.

But nope.

Throw 'em a bone here... they're actually trying to sell a console (well, it may just be a scam, rofl)

Most of their downloads to the system though seem to be just PC games.

So it's a cheap PC Games console, DVD Player, TiVo, and other crap put together.
