    And the Phantom continuous to spook around the gaming industry ...

    Phantom Goes Live in 2005

    This is a shocker: The Phantom Game Service will be demonstrated at the upcoming CES in the Microsoft Booth in preperation for going live in 2005. I always assumed that the Phantom would live up to its name and go down in a flaming streak of screaming investors. The device will use Windows XP Embedded technology to deliver games to peoples’ living rooms. Infinium Labs, the company behind the Phantom, say they’ve got the backing of nearly two dozen leading game providers.

    Let's see how much money they need one day before CES to continue business.

    looks good but pointless, like a windmill in a vacuum.

    I think PA summed it up best: Chicanery and flim-flam.

    Weren't their investors suing them?

    I would like to see an online game community that allows users to connect to a central network and play online games with any variety of consoles. That would be KILLER! I love X-box games but HATE that over-sized paddle they call a "controller"

    - Subscription based. Games stream online. No game purchase needed!
