Yeah after years of just having the xbox I thought now is the time to get a new console with amazing graphics that everybody wants.

I plant to reveal it on this very board when it turns up.  There will be a link to my you tube site and believe me when I say you are going to want to check it out. 

Watch this space....

I just made my video.  I have to say I think if you make a new console you need to get the controller just right.  Look at Colecvision Intellivision and the Atari Jaguar. Good systems with controllers that just about got the job done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BsJYM5KiRY&feature=youtu.be 

Check out my amazing video.  The games I wanted are not free.  So I have to pay for Raiden legacy and Boulder Dash.

I think I would be most interested in an Android type system for retro emulation.

I got it half price.  Then bought some software for it.  I think it is let down by the controller which needs to be a lot better.  Also when playing Shadow gun the control is rather imprecise. 
I will do a review of the console later in the week.  As it is a download only console I do not think the critic is going to get around to this one.

Curious.. maybe its just the video recording, but are the games all that choppy? If that's the case, the frame rates really suck on that setup.. perhaps underpowered? It would be interesting to see how something like the Ouya and the MadCatz Mojo, as well as the nVidia Shield would stack up against this.

It is not that they are choppy it is that the control leads a lot to be desired.  The graphics are remarkably good for something with is only the same size as a memory stick.  I will post a review of it by the weekend.
