We never said if it was actually coming out as far as I know. We were just saying it would nice to see how it would do if it ever was released.

Ok I confirmed from a Mirco Play guy, who said that Phantom is coming out, but it wont be system into which you will pop in disks. You will have to connect the system to the internet and log onto Phantom's server, and then play games ONLINE which would be available on the server. Sounds a difficult job to do.

But knowing my luck it'll be Broadband exclusive (damn BT) |

I never wanted to play games ONLINE on consoles, but after hearing about Resident Evil Online, GT4, and Metal Gear Online. I have changed a little...... So will everybody eventually....... but yeah it'll take time for sure.

I've checked out all the info I can find on 'Phantom' and here are my thoughts.
1) They say it will be 'cross-platform'... On their web-site they state you will be able to play games on-line 'cross platform'. What they mean by this is that you can play say something like a First Person Shooter against PC owners, PS2 owners... whoever... Not that you could stick a PS2 game in it and it would work... That's a pretty misleading notion of 'cross-platform'... 2) They state they already have 35,000+ games available for the system... What games system has that many games available. The PS1/PS2 hasn't... Nor the SNES... But do you know what has? The PC... which leads to my final thought. 3) It's nothing more than a PC in a box. I truly believe it will be similar to the XBox in that it will share common PC components - I also believe it will probably run some form of a Microsoft OS. Look at the evidence.... Dreamcast owners could play Quake3 against PC owners - there's your cross-platform capability.... 35,000+ game - How can a new system have that many games already unless it's tagging onto an existing system? And besides the PC, what else has that many games? Seriously, this is what I think it is. I hope I'm wrong - but I don't think I will be. - S

i agree with spank, sounds like a lil pc with a bunch of emulators on it.
Although i think it will have some legal problems if it tries to use software meant for other consoles. I dunno, don't know much about computers. |

After reading the latest Penny Arcade post this thing may be fake. At the pre-registration page, the submit button really has no function. Just look at the code:
<input type="image" src="images/btn_submit.gif" width="69" height="27" alt="Submit" onClick="submit()"> Its not really submitting to anything. :-/ Unless I'm a dumbass and it is. I havent used HTML in a while. Lets quote penny arcade here: Quote:
