Based on a recent study of the statistical mechanical properties of the q-modified boson oscillators, we develop the statistical mechanics of the q-modified boson gas, in particular the Grand Partition Function. We derive the various thermodynamic functions for the q-boson gas including the entropy, pressure and specific heat. We demonstrate that the gas exhibits a phase transition analogous to ordinary bose condensation. We derive the equation of state and develop the virial expansion for the equation of state. Several interesting properties of the q-boson gas are derived and compared with those of the ordinary boson which may point to the physical relevance of such systems.
