Who saw this coming? I did.

Of course this article could be wrong, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

[dork]

Fake? Real? It could go either way up to this point. Either way who cares?

[Notedog]

it was doomed from the begining

[dn03]

i think getting games online is a cool idea but nobody will buy it

[PhixedDice]

If so, I'm surprised.

/sarcasm

[dncardman]

Who cares it wouldn't sell anyway.

[Notedog]

It could do well if it has a low price tag which is unlikely

600 posts ohhhhhhh yeah

[Hylian-Advocate]

Looks cool.....But no one is going to go for that downloading games idea.

[Jushiko]

I registered to be a beta tester...but they never called/emailed me back :(

[Hylian-Advocate]

^where do you do that at.

[Jushiko]

I'm pretty sure they aren't accepting people now.

[C.J.]

Yea, they wanted like your whole god damn resume anyway, I wasn't bothering with that shit.

[Jushiko]

Oh shit, I put "First Time Applicant" for that part.

[KamiKaZe]

[KamiKaZe]

[HylianKWG]

Phantom is a fake?! All I have to say is HA HA!

[Notedog]

It never stood a chance

[Glenn2K4]

Phantom = dead from concept

[peasantlover]

isnt it supposed to be released this November anyway>? we'll find out soon enough, no need for drama ;)

[aerofan113]

Im not so sure about the Phantom being a complete flop. Its a one of a kind machine. It has up to a 3 GB hardrive and has over 100 GB's of internal storage. Not to mention all of the opitons that are on it. Standard wireless controller with a standard wireless key board and mouse. Then it has some mighty impresseve options like additonal wireless controllers and a hardrive extention. Whether this system turns out to be a flop or a revolution, its still an interesting concept.

I'm sure you've all heard the rumours and certainly the hype that has come from Infinum Labs about their Phantom console well here is an intresting piece of info from Penny Arcade:




It really comes down to this: is it a hoax, or are the forces involved in making this system absolutely inept? I'd call that six of one or a half dozen of the other.

Anybody tried to actually submit ther information on the pre-registration screen? It's not a button, it's just a sort vestigial nub with no function.

An interesting mail from Josh Parker, Private Eye:

In my amazing boredom, I researched the status of these trademarks on , but could find no record of either being trademarked. I tried various search methods, never did I see the slogan or the name Phantom trademarked by Infium Labs.

And theirs more;

I talked to the Tim Roberts guy on the phone when he returned my call ( 22 days after I left a message ) and when I asked him about all this...he HUNG UP ON ME. I asked him if he was looking for investors, he said "We are actively recruiting investors". I asked him if they had any consoles on hand, he said "We have several hundred prototype models here in the office". So then I asked him where the prototypes were made, he said "right here in our facility". Then I told him I had seen his 100ft x 100ft office space conveinently located next to Missing Link Art Gallery in the strip mall ( located at 5380 Gulf of Mexico Dr. Longboat Key, Fl 34228 ) and he went NUTS!!! "WHO THE FUCK IS THIS!?!?! BLAH BLAH I'LL SUE YOU".


I highlighted all their errors and just by looking at some of the things I copied and pasted from that article the site is composed of 12 years old who wants to be writers. Also I remember seeing the Phantom article in Game Informer and had pictures of it and system specs. It's real, but in my opinion it won't be a success.

[aerofan113]

The specs I gave were released to Game Informer in this months issue. Check them if you wish. I am actually quite excited to see what becomes of the Phantom. It might become the Kazaa of the consoles.
