XBox and PS2??

[directhex]

what swafeman so the xbox, gamecube AND PS2 don't load straight off the CD using variable ram / roms to store and instruct the data being streamed off the CD / DVD ???

Well they do don't they. The idea isn't impossible but as already said the variable nature of PC hardware means this isn't going to become a reality until all components are properly standerdised with either one universal driver set or guarenteed compatability...

a standardised box for playing games booted straight from disk? what do you propose we call such a marvelous device?
