Infinium Lab's Phantom?

[alty29]

I might buy it if it comes out, the design looks pretty good

Am I the only one who didn't realize that Infinium Labs was publically traded? (IFLB)

If the Phantom console starts to get rave reviews, it seems like it might be a good stock to invest in.

Currently the people who seem most interested in the phantom are hackers intent on getting a cheap server box for $199

They were supposedly at E3, but I remembering reading things about how they weren't actually streaming a game offline.(and that supposedly they were the only booth who couldn't get net access or something?)

Anways, I just don't get who they're trying to appeal to. Hardcore and even a lot of regular pc gamers won't be interested in its already outdated specs, kids without credit cards can't purchase themselves, so theyd need to get parents involved. I see the christmas shopping parents as just getting confused at buying a system that doesn't actually have any games on store shelves for it, and being told they need to set up a subscription service.

Combined with the general feeling of annoyance the gaming community has for infinium, all the bad business rumours, I wouldn't even consider looking at it until it has been up and running for a year (if its even released) to see if it can stay afloat. Otherwise, what happens to your 2 year game contract if they go belly up after 6 months??

Looking at the record of the guy who's running it, I'd be supprised if it went for any longer than that.
