I'm not impressed.
It runs PC games. Ok.
On a tv. Ok. (not impressed)
Appears to be nonupgradable.
The hardware that's in the phantom won't be handling next gen games for sure.
It will be able to push out about 30 fps for Half Life 2 but games after that...
Give up now.
specs
Infinium also revealed what's inside the receiver: an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ central processing unit, an Nvidia GeForce FX 5700 Ultra graphics processing unit, and an Nvidia nForce2 Ultra 400 platform processor. The receiver will be manufactured at Taiwan-based Biostar’s production facility in Guangdong Province, China. Other key specs of the Phantom receiver are DirectX 9-compliant graphics and audio, Dolby Digital 5.1 channel audio, 256MB of RAM, and a 40GB hard drive.
That GPU isn't going to take them anywhere in the future.
