Forums - PC - Xi3 Piston Console launches November 29 in US for......... $999.99

You guys thinks that bad. Wait until you see how pathetic the specs are. Check this link from Forbes. The Xi3 can't compete with my 3 year old lap top....

so lets see here you can get 2 out of the 3 next gen consoles and still get a game for one of them for $40 less then you could get for one of these



Or you could buy a Xbox One and a PS4... ...and a game for each.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Heck you can build a better speced PC for $300 if you skimp out on the solid state drive, legit windows copy and all.



Never heard of this console.....

At least the form factor is nice..



No thanks, I will pass.



Rofl those specs are hardly worth $999, they need to be specific about what 7000 series gpu they're talking about. HD 7970 and it might come close to about $700 in value.



Intel core i7 930 OC @ 4.0 ghz

XFX Double dissipation Radeon HD 7950 356 bit 3gb GDDR5 OC @ 1150 MHz core + 1575 x 4 memory

Triple channel DDR 3 12gb RAM 1600 MHz

The only reason to buy this thing, is the nice form factor of the machine.

But with this money I can get both PS4 and Xbone.

There's no discrete card inside - it's APU with 384:24:8 config. In other words, at that price, it's a scam.
