DISCover was introduced at E3 2003. The system was again featured at E3 2004.

The ApeXtreme console was supposed to support DISCover technology, but it dropped by 2005.

A partnership between Digital Interactive Systems and Alienware was announced. In 2005 two Alienware media center computers including the DHS 5 were released supporting DISCover.

Technology
DISCover was a system designed to allow traditional PC games to be easily played in a console setting.

DISCover was a combination of a BIOS chip running DISCover software and a script database to optimize the running of certain games in a console setting, as well as to automatically update and patch games.
