Why not a console add on to a pc? (Score 1)

I'm pretty much a PC gaming zealot, I can't really justify even the current $149 for the Xbox or PS2.

I think a better option than making a console that can do PC stuff, make the add in board to put the Console stuff into the pc. An expansion board, and maybe a cd/dvd/whatever drive if they wanted to make it more proprietary. That way, you can use all the pc functionality, but you also get the benefit of having the console.

This would benefit the console companies, in that it wouldn't take very much to create this board, yet it would give them a broader market. Cause I know a bunch of people who would never buy a console. But they would by a "console expansion" for their pc.
