don't we have enough stuff from china and plus won't it need some real heavy localization I mean it says patriotic activity I don't think America would like china trying to fill their children's heads with communism I think it might be more trouble then it's worth for them to expand

"We are the world's second company to produce a controller-free game console, behind only Microsoft," Luo says.

Third actually, Sony dd it first with the eye toy. While technically not entirely controller free. It was basically the same thing, and promptly crashed and burned.

Ebox
Xbox
Going to be like Kinet


This sounds like a pop-station.

Your avatar is hilarious. Just saying.

I second that comment.

Games announced so far for this glorious console include:

"Virtual Factory"
"Noodle Maker 2000"
"Creepy Olympic Mascot Designer"
and
"Master Chief Battles Democracy"

Personally, I can't wait.

"A healthy, patriotic activity"...? There just seems something disturbing and absurd about that wording.

It's china.. can't really beat it for absurd and disturbing without hitting up the sci-fi totalitarianisms.

I was actively trying to avoid the Orwell / Huxley references, but yeah, I've got to admit that you've got a point.

What do you think? It's China.
I live in Hong Kong and personally, almost every single thing China does forces me to facepalm.

 

[Drexlor]

Oh, China and all of their bootlegged technology.

 

[Misterian]

I laugh at Ebox.

Far as I'm concerned, it'll never live up to that standards of the big leagues, Far as I'm concerned, it's Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft forever.

I hope it gets released in Canada. I would like to play these "patriotic" games and see what they're like. As for console wars, you there hasn't been a war if no one's even going against each other yet. Now I wish there would be a Canadian console; just not the F-box or the Y-box.

Are you really allowed to say that?

Ebox may not have exquisite game graphics, or extensive violence

When I read this I laughed. It also reminded of a cheap Wii knockoff I saw a few weeks back here in Australia. It came with 16 games built in (mostly driving and puzzle palette swaps) and they all looked like 16bit generic titles from the early 90's.

kill it with fire!

I feel bad for chinese citizens. What with their over controlling government n such.

 

[Lord_Gremlin]

zing!

Somehow this reminds me of the Chintendo Vii from a while back.

Powerful Weapon Machine! Powerful Weapon Machine!

Wow. That was..... interesting.

those subtitles were totally wrong lol. I doubt it. Probably propaganda. A company that can't even make decent computer hardware can't make a decent game console.
