The following I read on Epigamer.com , Just thought Id share it with yall

One of the most bizzare press releases to come in recently is one from unknown company 'The Infinium Labs'. By unkown we mean that at the point of the press release coming through they were not a registerred company and didn't have a website. Still hasn't stopped them from proclaiming

"Infinium Labs Corporation has emerged in 2003 as a leader in the converging Internet, digital entertainment and consumer electronics markets."


Not bad work, considering it's still the first weeks of 2003. Anyway this is too amusing to dismiss as a hoax quite yet.

The press release announces the Phantom console, "unique design architecture allows for delivery of a large number of games and the ability to participate in online massive multiplayer gaming. "

It also claims to be the "Fastest console on the market", and have "Cross Platform capabilities"

Infinium Labs has engineered its prototypes and expects to unveil the new gaming console in March of 2003. The company intends to launch the game console to the U.S. consumer market by November 2003.


Yes, facinating, we shall see whether this really is nothing more than a phantom.
