Looks like a cheap X box Rip off

Sounds like a Set to box system, where games are 100% download via a BB connection.

Stupid name for a console.It sounds as promising as indrema and its unlikely to succeed.
Coming march 2003?We just heard about the console.
It will be a console playing PC games me thinks.

Its promisings are stupid sounding too.This isnt Telemarketing

there was talk in EDGE mag that companys like Sky (Uk Satalite channel system)

would let people play PC type games on the Sky set to boxes.

looks like this is kind of what it could be.

I says on the site you can play against PC and other phantom owners. I bet it will be an expensive subscription to play the games as well. I will stick to my PC methinks.

Coming too late... it\'s gonna flop.  If they wait for the next gen it may have a chance at selling better, but it\'ll still be a flop.

Sounds like one of those lame old movies from the 80\'s that describe in detail what the future would be like, but never came true.

Methinks I\'ll wait for the package deal that comes with a hover car. :rolleyes:

*Flop*

Well of course, unless it\'s pong.

You guys are nuts. The new console will be the most powerful one ever created in the universe...yeah, it\'s alien technology.

Welcome to the biggest flop in the universe...and possibly in all parallel universe as well.

I can\'t believe they\'re burning money in that way...should have given me the money and open a few more McDonald franchise shop instead..

Like the name suggest...it\'ll be a PHANTOM machine with PHANTOM software and PHANTOM gamers....

Destined to be a phantom.... LOL.

Since they say that you can play online with other PC gamers and phantom owners, it suggests the machine will be an even more pc like \'console\' than xbox. My guess for specs would be GeForce FX with either an Intel P4 or AMD XP (or maybe the new ClawHammer 64bit cpu)
It\'s obvious that the console has to be pc arcitecture, since nobody will make games for the platform... It could sell this way. This means you have a VERY big games catalogue at launch;) since virtually every PC game will work on the \'new\' machine..

well, I had a read at ign about, and too me it almost seems like a big hoax (as they say in the article over at ign)

*rembers the hoax of the supermac G4, a watercooled g4 with metal caseing modified and clocked to 3 times original speed. Damn, people preorded it and all...

I also believe it\'s a hoax. Too much information doesn\'t fit, plus the \'specs\' are so damn abstract / non-existent. I wouldn\'t take much notice of this company from now on. :)

I heard that this was a fake.  My friend over at Dricas told me that he searched for the company and it said there was no such company.

But by some chance if it is not the possibilities are staggering.

From their website:
Choices of Over 50,000 Games
Choices of Over 5,000 Multi-Player Games
The ability of Cross Platform Gaming, that is, Phantom Players versus PC players

This pretty much shows that it\'s a pc put in a box with a console-like controller.
