Title: Phantom Games Console
Post by: elneckio on August 17, 2003, 12:28:49 PM

Video now available from their website : http://www.phantom.net/

Theres also some more info here : http://www.gigex.com/phantom/

Video doesn't show any game playing, just a quick clip of one of the game menus and loads of pre-rendered flashing sales junk.  Looks just like a PC in a small box to me, that said the XBox is pretty much that and that seems to have turned out ok so you never no  :)

At the Infinium Labs' (the developer) website it says that the Phantom will support PC games. To me, that doesn't make any sense. As PC games continue to develop, they require better and better hardware. Because of that the console could only support PC games for so long, unless you can upgrade it, which would only make it an ordinary PC in a weird box that you plug into a TV instead of a monitor.

This thing was doomed right when these guys thought of it anyway - they don't have the kind of cash to make Phantom a serious competitor in the console market.
