controller and an EVO: Direct discount card. Other accessories
will sell separately. In addition, customers can order
customize EVO paint applications upon request. Derrick Samuels
CEO and Founder reported today. "Evo will be one of the first
true gaming hybrid consoles that will be built -to-order with
few restrictions, but at the same time offer a platform that
will constantly evolve to suit the customer's need. Evo is a
computer but it will also provide the entire family the
opportunity to access the different applications throughout the
home via wireless network." Samuels added, "The final hardware
units should be done in late August and is greatly improved
from the unit displayed at E3 this year in Los Angeles. Upon
request units will be available for review. Envizions' goal is
to build on quality, service and reliability. To reward our
customers we plan to ship all pre-orders first since the unit
will have limited release qualities available at launch."
