how thw Phantom "works"

[SlickJesus]

howstuffworks.com has an article on how the Phantom "works"

enjoy ripping it apart

mwa hahaha

it also has the "new" specs for the console, screens of the "OS", and a new pic of the back.

I'd imagine it would work very similar to my PC.


Oh....wait....it is just a PC.


The more I read, the dumber they look.

i like the part where they say it's "like a hadicapped PC"

it cracks me up!

It will be nice when they go bankrupt and you can find these consoles at bestbuyon clearance for $20

If it ever comes out, I give it 3 months before you get the games on bit torrent

The whole article is based on cuts and pastes and information supplied by infinium.. If infinium actually gave them a console to test the story might be worth something but as it stands it amounts to still a huge pile of VAPORWARE

[djnes]

Anyone else notice the one drawing of the back is just that....a drawing...not an actual picture?

I'm sorry, as much as I have disbelieved in the past (especially after reading the [H] article), I don't see how the folks at IL could be lying here.

Why would they have spend the money that they are supposed to be scamming making a web site in conjunction with the best (and most expensive) web design studio on the net (2advanced.com), make a WORKING demo (contrary to popular belief, I have seen pics of it hooked up to a TV, I can get a link if anyone is interested.), and show us pictures of it IN PRODUCTION? I just don't see it.

The idea actually sounds kind of good. That article doesn't do it justice in terms of price, seeing that PS2 and Xbox both were $300 upon release and now both have an online multiplayer service that costs money. I think that this may be Tim Roberts escape from troubles.

what? no ones saying that you cant fit that kind of computer in a small case like that, the whole thing is, its NOT feasable for that price and at such a large scale, esp for a nobody company. plus having to pay $10 just for the privilidge of being allowed to buy games? fuck THAT. you dont have to use xbox live to play games, and youre an idiot if you do, since there are free services that do the exact same thing and FREE

One thing they do have right is the back. They cover nearly every connection you will need, minus VGA and DV-I. Now if only Sony and Microsoft would follow suit.

I am reporting his post to a moderator. That was uncalled for, and your post count does not reflect your experience with the rules here.

I can't wait to see Infinium fall flat on its face... and, to spare you my usual rant on why Infinium is full of BS and why the Phantom is a total joke/failure, I will simply say this: IF Infinium ever actually releases the Phantom (ie: mass production), after I get my Tech site up, I'll buy one just to rip the damn thing apart and see what crazy shit I can do with it... and then I'll prolly just use it for parts

*Edit* Noah, lay off kronchev. He made a valid point that also happens to reflect the thoughts of quite a few people here on the [H]ard|Forum. If you don't like his opinion, then just ignore him.

 

[Noah]

I respect his opinion, not the way he reacted.

I think he meant "you're an idiot" in a general sense, not you specifically.

Unless you buy one when they come out, and maybe he means you specifically then

 

[DocFaustus]

I can find nothing at all wrong with kronchev's post. Oh yea, and I share his opinion too.

 

[BlindedByScience]

....enough. This thread is off topic and flame bait in general. I'm not waiting for the really nasty stuff to fly.....
