Origin introduces Xbox and PC hybrid

In a fast-paced world, time is 10,000 tons of 24K gold.

Whenever we’re in a jiffy, wasting seconds in search of your essentials can prove costly. That’s why getting hold of multipurpose stuff ain’t a bad idea.

Nowadays, the norms are camera-phones with music players and Wi-Fi, Swiss knives with storage devices, and to top it off, you also got cars turning into speedboats.

Now, if you’re a hardcore gamer, you’ve probably wasted precious hours (every second worth it) of your life and loads of cash on various gaming consoles and gizmos. In the desire to play games in almost every platform available, it’s quite understandable.

Well, Origin PC is releasing a gaming device that will make gaming life a little easier for you. While the Big O, a high-powered gaming rig that has a built-in Xbox, may not exactly convince you to cut down on your playing time, it could save you some minutes from going to the other room just to play a different game on a different platform.

Powered by an overlocked 4.0GHz Intel Core i7 930 processor, a liquid cooled Rampage III Extreme motherboard, dual NVIDIA GTX 480 GPUs, 6GBs of memory, dual 50GB SSD drives, a 2TB hard drive, Creative Fatal1ty sound card, and a Blu-ray burner, the Big O can simultaneously run Xbox video games and PC applications and software.

Of course, great gadgets don’t come cheap. Origin has priced this baby at $7,669. That’s around 345,105 in Philippine pesos. Good grief!

But hey, being able to exterminate your buddies in Halo after they pawned you in DOTA with just one machine – priceless.

So while most of us are low on budget, I highly recommend that you grab a Big O if you got lots of loot to squander (wish I could).

If you want to have this O-some gaming rig delivered to your doorstep, or you just want to know more about it, feel free to visit Origin’s official website.

Until then, I’ll just have to focus on work and blogging just to get my mind off this elusive thing of beauty.
