My new Sig

Did any of you read all that stuff that Penny Arcade linked to a long time ago about this thing? Supposedly the mastermind behind it has a long history of "phantom" business that would suddenly go bankrupt after lots of investors had put money into them, and somehow he was living quite well. I don't remember exactly, but it was fishy.

 

At any rate, these guys had a pretty big fancy booth at E3, though I didn't get a chance to really check them out. I have to agree with everyone else though, this thing screams N-Gage to me.

Yeah, no Hotswapping (with the original N-Gage anyway). But yeah, I remember seeing pics of Phantom almost 2 years ago...honestly, it's specs aren't going to be better than a mid-range computer, I'd just stick with the PC quite frankly. I mean, HTF do you RENT a console, at 30 bones a month no less? That's just plum dumb...get a PSP!!

Ok...Infinium Labs has officially delayed the Phantom to sometime in 2005. I can't find the press release though...but here's a link to the HomeLan Fed article: http://www.homelanfed.com/index.php?id=26318

 

Also, Infinium is in debt. I remeber reading this a while ago and I found the story at Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/09/07/news_6106792.html

Phantom had some nice booth babes at E3.

Now you know you're not going to win the console wars when you're a cool 4 million in debt BEFORE YOUR SYSTEM EVEN LAUNCHES!!!
