Now is this thing rumour or not? If not does anybody know when it is coming out? Would it be worth getting the Xbox or waiting for the homestation?

Games-wise, it's anticipated HomeStation will play both PC and Xbox titles. . HomeStation will come equipped for an array of online and offline activities: a sizeable hard drive, broadband connection and compression technology based on Windows Media Player 8 - included with Windows XP - all point to a video-on-demand role. Sources say a Microsoft .NET server will dish out movies, music, messaging, games and TV programming - and with a stonking hard drive, it'll also double up as digital TV recorder (à la TiVo). In addition, it will wirelessly interface with portable devices such as digital cameras, PDAs, MP3 players and telephones using HomeRF or Bluetooth protocols. It may even manage home automation.

I just cut and pasted the important parts.

The reason is because funionz is off with jade in the honeymonn suite.

Ok im still lost so is this a fake thing or is it real...

09-09-2001, 10:07 PM
I hope its fake cause I don't really want to buy an xbox if they are going to put out something that will just upstage it that quickly. Thats why the video game business really has gone down hill is some ways. Systems used to last alot longer....

Aaron
09-09-2001, 10:52 PM

Severe_Tire_Damage
