Thoughts on the "Phantom"?

[Sir Frizz]

It's big, it's ugly, it may as well be a PC, but it's half the price. Worth it for a "console"?

 

[Embattle]

I don't reckon much on it atm, well not at least until I actually see a few of them rolling off a production line

 

[ManDevil]

No chance. It'll be another 3DO, Virtual Boy etc.

 

[whipped]

There's a lot of plausible reports that seem to suggest that the Phantom is living up to its name and doesn't even exist. Then again, there are equally plausible reports that state the complete opposite.

I'm with Embattle on this one. When I see it in the felsh I'll judge it.

If The whole of the Uk had broadband and it was marketed to death it would be the best thing in the world ever....

unfortunately it aint the case.


3Ghz, 256ddr ram and 100gig+ hard drive though -> makes the Xbox look rather outdated doesnt it?

 

[whipped]

Not if you've modded your Box

 

[Sir Frizz]

Looks like a hoax...

Truth.

 

[Ono]

Yep, the Phantom is one big hoax and was only intended to be used as a product to suck money out of venture capitalists (people that fund new companies in return for shares).

Looks like the guy in charge is dodgier than Dodgy Dave down the market.

I reckon he'll take off with the £25m.

well Does any body remeber a cosole back in the early 90s called " The GamesMaster"? (could play Snes, Mega Drive, Master System, Nes, Gameboy, lynx and gamer gear games) that too was touted all over the place and the bloke behind it ended up behind bars.


this seems very similar to that dunit

 

[whipped]

There's a moral to this story if he does end up behind bars.

"Don't fuck with gamers!"

Or that repackaging a cut down PC as a console is bound to turn out shit.

HI BILL!
