Zeebo Wireless Console

Zeebo Inc. aims to bring videogame consoles to homes across Brazil as well as emerging markets without breaking the bank. Meant to be the first affordable 3D console, you will find secure 3G wireless game delivery to be the main feature of this console, as the console itself ships with a quartet of pre-loaded games while owners have the chance to download a fifth title for free. The Zeebo is tipped to retail for $199 in Brazil, which is not too far off the Wii’s $249 price point, but we do know it will experience a price drop to $179 later this year and even dip below the $150 mark in volume next year. So far, Zeebo has recruited the following leading game publishers and developers to their cause – Capcom, Com2uS, Digital Chocolate, EA Mobile, Gameloft, Glu, Id Software, Machineworks Northwest LLC, Namco Networks and THQ, where these luminaries will be porting over a vast array of console, PC, dedicated handheld and high-end cell phone titles to the Zeebo platform.
