Make an open source gaming console

30 points posted to Gaming, New Product Ideas by rehtneug 12/27/07

Be the FIRST to make an open source gaming console. Allow people to make and sell their own games, and manufacturers to create games. These games could also be extended in some ways for open source development. Creators can also extend the media capabilities of the console, allowing them to develop special programs for whatever they want. Incorporate an open source web browser, maybe just firefox, allowing people to create extensions for all kinds of web based media.

Basically, make an open gaming and media console. Limit the proprietary aspects as much as possible. Media Center doesn't work for the general public, it's too limiting. No one can quite figure out what people want in their living rooms, so let the cutting edge folks build it.
