[froggyboy604]

Gaming accessory maker Snakebyte is launching a new box designed to bring games, media, and other content to your TV. It’s an Android-powered device called the Snakebyte QEUS which is expected to launch this summer for under $100.

The QEUS features a Rockchip RK3288 ARM Cortex-A17 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a microSD card slot, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, 5.1 channel audio, and HDMI 2.0 output.
 
The box comes with a game controller and a remote control with media and Android navigation buttons on one side, and a QWERTY keyboard on the other. It has a 6-axis sensor for motion controls.
 
Snakebyte says the QEUS can play music or videos from USB storage stream content from DLNA devices on your home network.
 
The company says the QEUS will support the Google Play Store but it will also have a game store powered by Nexway. The press release also mentions support for “cloud gaming and in-home streaming,” but doesn't offer any specifics.

This does look like a good Gaming console for $100. Amaing that is has 5.1 channel audio, and a Quad-core CPU, but still costing $100. It is nice that a remote, and controller is included.

far too many gaming consoles.

At least, a lot of these alternative consoles are more affordably priced at under $100, and  come with a remote and controller unlike the $100 Vita TV which just comes with the console, but you need to buy your own controller.

These $100 consoles now come with better console parts like a newer Quad-Core ARM Cortex A17 CPU, 2GB Ram, 5.1 channel surround sound, MicroSD, 8GB or more internal storage, and USB ports, and still costing $100 or less compared to other more popular $100 consoles like the Vita TV where you get an older style ARM Cortex A7 Quad core CPU, 512 MB of RAM, 128MB Video RAM,  2 channel stereo sound, 1GB of internal storage for storing only a few downloaded games, you are force to use the more expensive Sony Memory Stick cards, and the $100 Vita TV does not come with a controller.

I think one of the main buyers of this console will be grown men who want to play N64, Gameboy, and other ROM emulators on their TV. This console is probably better than other $100 gifts like a cheap tablet or smartphone made by a lesser known brand like RCA since $100 can't buy as much as it used to.
