Worlds of Wonder Action Max

DW FACTS
 - by Dark Watcher

We wonder where the inspiration for this device came from? Sarcasm aside, Envizions Computer Entertainment had produced a Media Center PC that could be taken as a "PC in a videogame console" shell.

The Evo: Phase One was the conceptual brainstorm of founder Derrick Samuels approximately three years ago per their website (circa 2003). One could say "Hey..thats around the time the Phantom console was announced...Hmm." We suppose that's a pretty good assumption.

Although it looks like a console, the Evo: Phase One is still a multimedia PC. It claimed to have featured many bells and whistles like streaming / downloadable content, DVR capability, and the ability to run PC applications and games. It also featured an integrated biometric scanner, HDMI output, and a wireless controller that resembles the Playstation 2 Dualshock.  The Evo would also be upgradable like a regular PC.

The creators said that the Evo would come in other Phases.  Phase Two for example would make the device function like a console whereas Envizions will develop it's own customized console games.

The first time the system was seen was May 10, 2006 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. The Evo was then given a ship date of October 20, 2006. It was given a retail price of $679.95, and then a cheaper model was made available at $579. The device could be preordered on the company website http://www.envizionsinc.com/.

As of this writing there has been no news indicating whether the Evo was made available, successfully launched, or any reviews to the hardware. Did Evo: Phase One get buried with the launch of the Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii? Did it share more then concept and die a Phantom death? Stay tuned...
