About Me
OMG GAMES.

I'm a student in Manchester over here in the always sunny UK. I can juggle, like cats and can't say the alphabet backwards very fast.

The Podcastle is sexy, listen to it.

Games have become a backward-looking medium. Because game designers rely on the language of cinema, they have not sufficiently developed a new form of storytelling based on the language of video games. - Daniel Radosh 28/09/07

Pandora - The DS on steroids - opens pre-orders [FAPPITY]
wardrox | 7:04 AM on 10.01.2008 25 comments




It may not be very well known, but the Pandora hand-held is now available to pre-order for £200 (current US exchange rate: about $5 million). It boasts hardware on par with the original Xbox as well as the fact that if you buy this, chances are you will never have to pay for software for it.

You see, the whole project is open source. As it stands, Pandora comes with the popular Ubuntu OS and is specifically designed to run free-emulators on free-Linux, using up all of your free-time. Currently the devs say it is able to emulate anything from the PS1 older.

With 2 SD slots you could theoretically have up to 64 Gig of ROMs stashed away in this thing, as well as music/films/other software. I would write more about its excellent features and software, or you could just fap over the picture and read the wikipedia entry.

Yes, you do want one.

Thinking hard about it, having something like that for movies would be freaking epic.

Never mind, site's been annihilated. No way in hell of getting a pre-order unless you were waiting for this obsessively.

You had me until you mentioned the price and Ubuntu.

Also, with the (current) exchange rate, this puts the Pandora at about $300 USD, the price of a Pro model 360.

(pandora does not come with Ubuntu, I'm pretty sure, but it does run on it)

You could almost buy two 360s for that price!

How are you supposed to play games on it if it's Linux-based?

Oh, and it's SDHC too! <3

Not to sound too pessimistic, but I'm very curious what the battery life on that is.

I actually think I'm just about to buy this.

I will report back.

I'd like to get one, but the thing looks to damn awkward to hold.

@ScottyG

Battery life is around 10 hours from what I know.

there is also this thing, which looks pretty rad for nes/snes/gba/genesis/etc type games.
