[clug-talk] Linux game console ready to ship

[Dafydd Crosby]

I honestly don't think it will succeed - the ship price is too high, the 
software library is too small, and it looks like they're using stock 
hardware (less profit margins). You can pick up a PS2 new for $120 and 
have access to 500+ games (a fair number of which are playable and decent).

Unless they have an exclusive killer app, this will probably never be 
accepted beyond a few hobbyists.

Sorry if that sounds too negative :-P
