Im making the assumption that none of you have seen this, because I believe you would be drooling all over if you had! Finally, an adiquate link between the world of consoles and PC's. Imagine, being able to download fairly graphicly dependent games onto your console. No not talking about the Xbox 360 (which is gay) or the PS3. Now for a cheap price, (like $8 a pop) you will be able to download full games onto a console with graphics that will rival the next-gen consoles and today's PC's. Im talking about the Phantom from Infinium Labs. Check it out here! www.phantom.netAlso, you can play through 20 minutes of any game featured for free. I mean the REAL game, not a demo. That is a great way of seeing if you like the game or not. The Phantom also uses the Internet for a multiplayer medium, not some stupid lobby like the Xbox and PS series of games. Im sure it will have other cool music and multimedia features as well. I am actually looking forward to this. I am not a console man, but this is above and beyond normal and its not made by huge conglomerates like Sony and Microsoft, who have no business in the console world IMHO anyway.

That looks absolutely ausome...for a console. But all consoles are inferior to computers, period.

yes, but there is also the great factor of knowing you'll never have to upgrade a console, nor worry about hackers, viruses, ad-ware, and spy-ware plaguing it. Looks nice though, suprised I've never heard of it before. Definately gonna keep tabs on it.

Exactly. I dont care for consoles due to the fact that you must use a TV, and the fact that the games are always rediculously priced. With the Phantom, this isnt the case as much. You can download the games for cheaper prices and it comes with a screen made for the console. Its a very well thought out pice of equiptment for those who dont want to deal with all the excess baggage that comes with a PC, which is ALWAYS user unfriendly... period. So this may be a step in the right direction for consoles, and depending on the price and presentation by Infinium, may be a great buy.
Lets see..

Read about the phantom being in development toward the end of freshman year. At first everyone out there thought it would suck, or was just a hoax... guess it was for real... the sucking part... is still unconfirmed. Also todays PC's are going down the drain here in about a month. The Gforce 7800 has made sure of that, the fucker is faster then my whole machine.
