The Perfect Console

ebackhus · 03-15-2006, 09:39 AM

If you could create the PERFECT console, what would it be like? Fully wireless? Powered by sunlight? Never obsolete? Doesn't delete your saves?

No franchise tie-ins allowed. (games about movies)

PS2 Controller, hard drive, all wireless, doesn't become obselete, runs on piss, which it turns into mountain dew and stores in a refridgerated tap. Oh, and no loading times. That would be sweet.

Never obsolete, wireless controllers, every great game invented would be preinstalled on the HDD, there would be no lag for multiplayer, and thy could bring back cartridges to eliminate load times, but the cartridges wouldn't cost 60 bucks like they did for the N64.

Everything above+1000-disk disk-changer(never get up to change a game again)
And, the HDD would run off SCSI at 15000 RPM.

Cartrige sound not so good compared to CDs. No Cartridge based. T1 automagically connected, free interweb multiplayer, wireless, 2 petabyte harddrive, Loads of ram, Wireless, system shape: 5"x5"x5" square.

Large cartridges can hold good sound. We can fit more into something the size of a postage stamp now than we could into something the size of a book then. I'd use carts.

5Mbps cable line. T1 is too slow. :p

PS2 controller with options for wired and wireless. Charges while plugged in.

1TB internal 10,000 RPM SATA2 HDD that is user upgradable. Can be RAIDed.

VGA, DVI, HDMI, optical, and component outs.

NO OS!! This is a console and it runs console games.

And an "Auto M$-fixer".

Fixes all borked M$ products within 12ft. Includes Bluescreens.

Id like to make a design change to mine. the wireless controllers can be wired while charging, in fact the wire comes from teh machine to teh controller. its a break away like teh xbox controllers.
