DISCover Plays Unmodified PC Games, Bringing the Power of Multi-Media
Computing out of the Home Office and into the Living Room
LOS ANGELES, May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Interactive Systems Corporation
(DISC) will unveil DISCover(R), a game console that plays unmodified PC games,
at a news conference in the press conference room of the Electronic
Entertainment Expo (E3) on Wednesday, May 14th, at 1:00 pm. The DISCover
Booth is #6551.
Since DISCover games are unmodified PC games, DISCover will launch with
more games than all other game consoles combined. Digital Interactive Systems
will demonstrate DISCover's technology for playing unmodified PC games on a
game console. This technology solves the "chicken and egg" problem: 1) you
can't sell consoles without games; 2) games are not developed for consoles
that don't sell. Since DISCover games are unmodified PC games, there's no
need to develop games for the DISCover. All of a publisher's PC games will
play, as is, on the DISCover. To have their PC games play on a console in the
living room, publishers only need to ensure their games have been registered.
Consumer electronics firms and PC manufacturers can create DISCover game
consoles with the knowledge that the games will be there for them. These
DISCover game consoles will have the stunning graphics and awesome audio of a
PC, but without the hassles.
DISCover consoles, made by a number of consumer electronics firms and PC
manufacturers, will range from upscale Pentium-class game consoles starting at
$299, to digital home entertainment consoles that play PC games, movies,
music, and PVR TV starting at $545. Media centers and extreme gaming systems,
featuring high-end audio systems -- the fastest Pentium 4, 512 MB to a
gigabyte of memory, and more than 120 GB hard disk -- offer the ultimate
DISCover experience on a big-screen high-definition TV starting at $1,000 and
up.
A number of firms will unveil DISCover consoles at E3, including SVA (one
of Asia's largest consumer electronics firm), ABS Computers, and Hyundai
Electronics. AITech will unveil a kit for transforming a PC into a DISCover
game console. Kinyo electronics' DISCover game consoles will be in both its
and DISCover's booths.
The DISCover virtual console will also debut on Gateway Computer's Media
Center PC. Gateway's Media Center PC with DISCover virtual console plays
CD/DVD-ROM games as easily as DVD movies. A press conference on the DISCover
virtual console will be held at the DISCover Booth #6551 on Thursday, May 15th
at 1:00 pm.
Two racecar simulators by Desktop Sims will be in the DISCover booth. The
racecar simulators will be powered by two networked ABS DISCover gaming
consoles, displayed on two 55" Mitsubishi HDTV. The simulators will be
available for qualifying races by attendees during show hours prior to
Friday's grand finale race. The grand finale race will be held for prizes and
trophies, including an SVA DVD player, on Friday at 1:00 pm.
