I have had this idea for quite a few years! even the name CD64!
I like the idea of some sort of suit you wear that controls everything in the console. I believe its the future and cant settle for less.............this is why I have never ever owned a console (except the CD32) because nothing about console to me is revolutionary.............Im not impressed. only The CD32 mae me curios...........and I really bought it soley based on Video Creator! im glad I bought it though.
Some people think consoles are where we should be going. If that were true MICROSOFT would not have made the X-BOX. Gaming is serious business and I believe focusing on it is what will make the New Amiga more powerfull than any machine...................then bring out the serious software which will be excellent because the hardware has been pusshed by the Serious gfx on the games.
the New Amiga console should have this and nothing less:
DVDRW drive 24x or more
PCMCIA slot 16 and 32 bit (You can get USB and ethernet)
ETHERNET port
2 USB 2.0 ports
FIREWIRE (i-Link)
4 joystick ports Analog and digital
Keyboard port
Virtual Suit port
18 bit sound with audio input
HDTV resolution
PPC 3Ghz upgradable
512MB RAM upradable to 4 Gigabytes
80 Gig HD upgradable and standard using and IDE port
Rom software, including music to gfx when a CD is inserted like the Playstation has when you play music it shows nice graphics ( this is very important to me) and can be modified and personalized to the max!
All this has to be standard in order to even compete!
IT CAN BE DONE for $350.00 although I would pay even $600.00 for an Amiga console like this.
People will buy it for sure..it will have a longer shelf life than X-BOX or PS2
