Has anyone heard of the red riding hood? AKA "Steam Console" that is supposed to be coming out soon?

I recently found something very interesting. Its fundamentally a gaming PC but it's almost the same price as a console whilst appearing to have good specifications inside.

http://steamconsole.com/

Thats the website. Its currently on pre order only but it looks very interesting.
 
Max graphics card of a HD6570? That will hurt gaming performance! Its a low end card!
Also they say it can do 3D but advertises HDMI 1.3, which can't pass on the content.
And to play that content you have to pay an extra 150 for the drive?

Looks like a clever way to market a AMD products really.
 
forgive me for being stupid, but where does it say its gor a 6570? all i can find is an advert saying AMD fusion, and somewhere else saying its got 1GB VRAM

*edit*
never mind, the info is in the news section. silly me for not thinking to look there for the specs [/sarcasm]

found the specs:
AMD FX-4100 Zambezi 3.6GHz APU Processor.
8 GB DDR3 HyperX Ram
WD 1GB Black 7200 RPM HDD
AMD Radeon 6750 1GB DDR5 Low Profile
Asus Wifi- Router
Asus Bluetooth
Gigabyte FX Motherboard, 1 PCIE, 2 PCIE small
Windows 7

Just a scam for cheap PC's pretending to be gaming ones, think fleabay. Other than it's general dodgyness and 'supposedly' pre-ordering through Amazon when in fact you are sending money via paypal directly to that site instead there's other nonsense like the specs listed supposedly being the 4100 bulldozer which is a 3.6Ghz CPU yet the pre-order lists a 3.2Ghz Quad on all options, probably some cheapo ancient quad.
 
you can tell from the website that its dodgy - crappy wordpress theme, looks like it was put together by a below average internet marketer in 10 minutes.
