Topic: Official *Phantom Console* News

[Cap]

this is the first time i had read that the power had even been turned on, let alone actually playing games on the thing.

i still have my doubts that it will ever be released though.

I have a working prototype its called a "pc" phantom is basicly a pc, right?  For a company not bringing in any profit yet this guy is spending a huge amount of money on stuff just look at that tv JEEZ

That black is a mock up, so is that silver one. Whether they actually make it in black they haven't said.

This has got to be a joke!
Have you checked out their website?

Phantom.net

There is no info, and a some really blurry pics of who they are supposedly working with?
Is this supposed to sell me on the Phantom?
a limited time only offer of "Lifetime Subscription!?"

This has got to be a joke!

"We are currently updating our extensive list of content/publishers at this time. It is by no means a complete compilation of games available on the Phantom.

Please check back to this site at a later date for the latest exciting exclusive and popular game titles that are pending developer/publisher approval. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Thank you for your cooperation."

Read:  We are going to PCGamer.com and copying their games list.

Uuuh are you sure phantom.net is the official site?  The web design seems a little mediocre compared to the infinum labs website.  I think it might even be making fun of the phantom.  I mean look at the games in the upper right corner there all like abc, sesame street, doctor etc.  im probably wrong but it was just a guess.

If you goto Infiniumlabs.com and click on beta testers, then try to log in, it will take you to beta.phantom.net which is the same exact thing as phanton.net .

This is a big f***'n joke.  The company site is flashy, but the product site is pathetic, and barely a half a**ed attempt.

No, all those games have been officialy announced by Infinium Labs.

Haha wow, that actually made me laugh.  Im sure every parent with a toddler is going to run out to buy a 500 dollar phantom to buy games that could be bought for 2.99 on the clearence rack and only need a 200mhz computer and 3mb of video ram to play.  So why is phantom wasting all that 1.3ghz?  haha.
