Ok This May Be Totally New To All U People, But Microsoft Is Planning On Releasing A "THING"......Which Would Replace PC........Which Is Called "Homestation". Yes Its True. It'll Be Nothing Like Xbox.......It'll Attract Business Men More Then Teenagers. And It'll Be ALOT Expensive Then A PC Or An Xbox. I Myself Doesn't Know Much About It. All I Know Its Being Processed And Its Called "Homestation"......A Not So Very Original Name There Though! :rolleyes:

Lets See What Happens....And How Is It'll Rull All Over PCs.

I just read something about the "Homestation".

(What an original name!)

I think Bill should just be content with his monopoly of operating systems and e-mail programs and maybe concentrate on the XBox before he tries to take over yet anothe market.

Is the HomeStation going to be more of a internet kinda thing or video game system? I don't think it's that bad of an idea just by hearing a name, sometime in the future something or another is gonna take the place of a PC.

I guess Bill Gates had to lay off some of his writers (name creators) because the XBOX is doing so bad :D pshhh, homestation.

I heard about the HomeStation and basically what it's about, it's a video gaming system, a TiVo system, and a "computer" system all compiled into one. Isn't that retarded? I heard about it in November and I was like......"Bill Gates, you SUCK!" ;) It's really dumb and I hope it never sees the light of day!

Feb 2nd, 2002, 08:28 PM
Well Yes.....I Am Sure About The Fact That It'll Attract Business Men......And Not Teenagers And Thinking Of That Means That It Wont Do Much For The Gaming World!.!

And I Guess Ure Right.....XBOX May Be Not Doing So Well...So He Had To Come Up With Something To Attact The People Again!.! :)

well meryl, I can't see why this idea is so bad... but the problem will be, it's gonna cost a fortune... If it was reasonably priced, wouldn't you all buy it? (if the video game system included played PS2 games :D )

MakgSnake
Feb 2nd, 2002, 08:32 PM
I Heard Its Gonna Cost More Then 900 US DOLLARS!.!

I think what he said was that the HomeStation is for the whole family. You've got the TV, the computer, and the video games for the kids. That way you won't have to get your ass out of the house or something. How pathetic.

Yeah, but obviously the video game system will be something developed BY him, like the X-Box. That's why I think it's dumb.

just just boycott it, if no one will buy it, then they wont produce it anymore, its as easy as that, if we tell a friend and a friend tells a friend etc etc, it will be like germs reproducing, we could get america to bankrupt this terribly named product hahaha :)

"hey, have you heard about that new HomeStation?"

"yeah, I saw it, it's going to be pink and only for girls"

there's a way to stop people from buying it!

Heh, heh....be careful though. Some people just might GO for that. If the HomeStation makes it to Japan.....man....I would be sooo depressed. I'm not trying to be mean to the Japanese but, some guys over there like bright colors, like pink or yellow, but that's because they're very....energetic and that's the way the culture was brought up. They're not gay or anything though! But, if Bill Gates actually makes it a bright color, the Japs might think it's cool. And since Japan is the biggest video game industry....

Ever heard of Project Reality? What about the Nintendo Dolphin? Maybe even the PSX. And now Homestation. What have these got in common? I'll tell ya.

All of them were the development names for various consoles, but PSX is the only one that stuck.

Project Reality was the N64. Dolphin is the GameCube. PSX was the development name for the PlayStation. And Homestation is what the Xbox was known as.

Homestation does not exist. No doubt there is an Xbox2 in development. Maybe they are calling that Homestation, but this is misleading considering the original Xbox used that name.

Bah the japs HATE microsoft, ive seen various pictures of them laughing at the Xbox system, the Xbox barely sold 200 consoles in japan (hahaha a joke) but honestly they would rather purchase things made in their country, and Nintendo and Sony came from where? Did you say Japan? hahaha anyways i think microsoft will can it before they do anything with it...

Damn Spankathon, you know a whole lot about everything. You can always answer a question thuroughly in the ps2 FAQ and now this. I wouldn't be surprised if you wrote news columns for a site

All I Know Is That Something TV/TIVO/XBOX Is Being Processed....

If MS Didn't Name XBOX Homestation Then I Guess They Are Thinking About Naming This Machine That!.!

Neways. It Sounds Stupid So Who Cares!
