This is dedicated though isn't it? Would have thought this might be cheaper and less cumbersome if you're into casual gaming. I'll definitely be keeping my eye out on this, seems liek a nice little thing to mess about with and play Meme games.

I'll be after one of these for good little media centres for the bedrooms. If XBMC can develop their TV stuff to match MediaPortal then I'm all in as I have a fully distributed Sky system :-)

Is it just me that finds the justification of that fan "So you can really crank up those games" wierd? :rolleyes:

That's Julie Uhrman, the creative force behind the company, and one of her colleges, isn't it?

So reviews are coming in now.

Verge gives it 3.5/10. Engadget were fairly scathing (they don't give scores any more) Seem to point out poor controller and poor selection (and quality) of games.

Most reviews are targetting the same items, lack of games (Which should hopefully be resolved over time), controller seems to occasionally be unresponsive (possible bluetooth issue?).

On the plus side, sideloading seems easy-ish to do if you can get a hold of the APKs. I've not had my dispatch note yet but hoping I do soonish.

As the reviews point out, the console has been pushed out and they have said it's a work in progress with UI etc to be constantly updated and as such it's more an Alpha/Beta test with the early units.
