I would still like to see.. well anything about this console. Just a pic of a controller or the supposedly existing prototype :P

^There is still no proof of the mentioned prototype actually existing, and there isn’t even a controller finished for it. The pic of half a controller you see on the kickstarter page is just a concept.

I agree with some of commenters this kickstarter is trying to sell something with little to no information not only that what this console can do that a tablet with a hdmi and bluetooth can’t do? Oh wait nada. This would have been a big deal before the smart phones coming into fruition but now not so much plus the games after on android are mostly shovelware and I wouldn’t play them in my living room. Also the release date being in March 2013 what is to say that apple or google won’t come out with something by that time that lets you do these things through your TV.

This is UTTER BS. Do you really think that devs will support a “console” that is completely open for hacking?
