I have a question, what are you going to use for the GPU? You going to use at least on of the Propeller's cogs or are you going to have an independent GPU? Also you're aware that if you go with the Propeller microcontroller you're stuck for the most part with only two means of programming. BASIC isn't supported and on the Parallax forums BASIC isn't looked at as an option, if you want a high level programming langauage you go with Spin. Then there's the fall back langauge that every chip uses, hexadecimal.

Also as it's related to this, it seems the Hydra is released. Well I haven't been to Parallax's site XGameStation.com is selling the sytem. They're retailing it for $250, check it out if anyone's interested. And don't compain about the cost, they're not on the same business model as Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are.

Well..
Were more like a company that constructs portable version of the black box, and the ships it out as a alternate to the black box.
