What's the point of these again? Bragging rights?

Kiosk machines, dedicated media boxes, art installations (I will use a couple for this), micro machines for light browsing and email reading (Think of the elderly), etc.

My boss alerted me to the RasPi's existence and I'm very excited. I'm definitely starting by testing OpenELEC on mine once I get it, and if it works well I'm buying another one as soon as possible to build a NAS. At that price, I'll probably end up buying ten or so just to play around with or to make some useful little appliance from. It'll be very interesting to see how well MAME and other emulators perform on this, it'd make a great base component for an arcade cabinet.

Everybody who was lucky enough to get an order in, should be getting their emails today telling them when they will be delivered. (UK)

The one i ordered will supposedly arrive on the week commencing 07/05/2012. Quite a big leap in expected dates though. My brother ordered one about 2 hours after me and his expected date is the 21/05/2012.

Still glad that i'll finally be able to get one.

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
