China is working on a console of its own. The console was once known as the eBox, and then the iSec, but now its name is CT 510. The Chinese government has banned all video game consoles. Despite the current console market, or lack there of, Beijing Eedoo Technology Ltd., the CT 510's developers, have announced the console will be released in China on April 29, 2012.
Don't expect this console to be as popular as Xbox 360s and PS3s are here though. The CT 510 will cost 3,799 yuan, or approximately $600.
The CT 510 will launch with eight pre-installed games. It also boasts the title of the second entertainment console to be controller-free, with Kinect-like features.
It's not clear how this console is getting around China's ban of gaming consoles. We're not sure if they found a loophole, or if the laws are changing. If they are in fact changing, it could mean Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo could, in theory, release their console there too. I have a pretty wild imagination so I'm picturing this console being like the TV in 1984, always watching, always recording data.

Seriously? Now I know why I should stab myself.

When it comes to technology that statically sits around whatever room its in, people should think about how well it performs and not how much space it takes up (to an extent). Who wants a high price just because they had to get technology sophisticated enough to fit inside such a tiny space to look "modern".
Why does everyone think slimness=better? The center of mass of that system is so high with such a small base that it is bound to fall over with the slightest push or outside interference. Depending on what it is set upon, someone could even walk by and have it fall over from the vibration alone.

1984 huh? That's the loophole right there. They don't want consoles. But I'm sure any government would fancy a few cameras in households, without people knowing of course. Webcam's off, right? Think again. Big Brother's watching.

Appreciate the 1984 reference. Hopefully they wont hide them behind conveniently placed picture frames.
