Well, for a while the XBox was an Indrema...
Anyway, it sounds intriguing, though to be honest their claims of unique abilities that current consoles don't offer is a bit much. I mean, it seems to me that many of their online abilities could easily be done on the XBox or a properly fitted PS2 (GCN seems to have given up on releasing their HD add-on, so they happen to be out). Fact is though, every generation needs one system that doesn't stand a chance at all and is forgotten about a week after it's mentioned. This fellow is that system. The DC was more like the last Atari system, in that it enjoyed brief success before dying when the new system is introduced.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
