Re: Phantom, maybe real?
It doesnt sound, or seem to spectacular, if you will....maybe its called Phantom,because few months after its release, it will only be a figment of our imaginations...

Re: Phantom, maybe real?
well, I really don't think they'll be able to get a lot of support, especially from money hungry companies, because for 30 dollars a month I could play any game I wanted, and uh, well that's a pretty sweet deal, and I don't think Nintendo will jump on board with this idea.

Re: Phantom, maybe real?
The phantom dude said in an interview that it will only be playing PC games.

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.

Re: Phantom, maybe real?
They went with an nvidia card. That's their downfall right there. Before the 6800Ultra, Nvidia's FX line wasnt the greatest. Should've just gone with a 9800Pro. But I think Nvidia gave the phantom makers tons of money so I guess it wouldnt matter anyways.
