Amiga is NOT just a gaming console. An Amiga-DTV would just be a cutdown Amiga computer: that's nonsense when we have the Minimig V1.1 and the FPGA Arcade, wich support HDD-installed games with zero loading times and perfect response as the programs run on actual hardware, modern storage solutions and open hardware. Being FPGA hardware, any Amiga implementation deficiency can be addressed and corrected by community and developers.

An UAE emulation-based solution (I think it's what you mean by UAE) would run, in the best scenario, on a custom Linux system, wich would increase latency. FS-UAE is an awesome tool, but that's about it: a tool. Not an Amiga for high-precision gaming. It's NOT a matter of speed but response. You can have it running at a constant 50FPS on a 50Hz display mode and still have input latency by host system design.

And who would want a closed, cut down design INSIDE a joystick? A computer (that's what the Amiga is) INSIDE a control device?? That's ridiculous (not trying to be disrespectful here).
I know about the 64DTV, but I wouldn't touch that thing with a 10mts pole.
