Phantom console info - console|
| (hx) 09:27 PM CET - Jan,08 2005 | 
TheInquirer
had a chance to see the
Phantom console which is supposed to arrive sometime in the middle of 2005
but with a different concept from existing Xbox and Playstation consoles.
Actually the company calls this device a broadband receiver with integrated on
demand game delivery service. It is digital receiver but you can play games on
it. It should cost between $199 and $299 and it's equipped with not latest
greatest Geforce FX 5700 core. It should be "enough for some games". This
console is very close to PC and it will use PC games. They haven't asked about
the CPU, yet, but they know it has 80GB of storage.
Update: GameSpot has some CES impressions of the console. |

The sole control device that is pictured in that particular picture is the keyboard/mouse bundle. And it’s a shame that you let such stylish bike rust back when you were three. If only you knew how to ride it then… This ‘console’ will become obsolete within a month of its initial release simply because the gaming populous would become frustrated that their oddly shaped, yet stylish, game pads can only produce vibrating sound waves instead of allowing them to control their virtual characters.
Maybe when you buy it I could come by in the rainy season and wait outside your house for a bit. :wink: |

:)
But you're very wrong. The good as it gets at three is when you stumble upon a used condom in your parents bedroom and you run around the house whacking the cat while staining, every possible fabric covered, furniture with semen. :oops:
It’s fun up until you get beaten by Mr. belt. :’( But hey I then saved a bunch of money on my car insurance thanks to geico.
Phantom looks cool… but it will bomb :D After its initial release it will be dated and ‘new’ games won’t run at ‘uber leet’ 100 frames per second anymore. |
