PC gaming is dead again

Red Assed Baboon covers a product from one of the taboo areas of gaming — console PCs. The new Alienware DISCover machine is sexy as hell, but can it really survive in the living room? From the sounds of it, this is how it works. You insert the game in the console for the first time and the DHS recognizes it. You enter the serial number and, according to the reviewer, "about 10 minutes later the game was ready to play." 10 minutes? That's a problem right there, isn't it? Apparently, the games load quickly after that. The reviewer goes on to claim that PCs will die a horrible death if they don't find a slot in the living room — an argument that any veteran in the business can tell you, is hogwash. The new DISCover systems may have a future, but they won't be replacing any PCs in this home.
