its not about a future console. its about allow u to play any PC games, Pay per view movies, old school games like NEs, Super nintendo. and ect.. think about that console as Direct TV gamer. thats what it is :cool:
 
Hmm... sounds good, but I'm not sure if it's really dependable. :dunno:

A Tampa Bay area technology company, Infinium Labs Corporation, will develop and market a new game console that, it claims, will outperform the XBOX, Sony Playstation II, and GameCube.
Infinium Labs has engineered its prototypes and expects to unveil the new gaming console in March of 2003. The company intends to launch the game console to the U.S. consumer market by November 2003. Although technical details about the system, codenamed Phantom, are not available the company does not seem intimidated by the size and capabilities of its competitors.

The company plans to market a high performance gaming console and delivery system to provide consumers with options and capabilities that, Infinium Labs claim, are not available in today's marketplace. The console will appeal to the hard-core gamer and the high end consumer electronic purchaser. This next generation game console will aim to provide a robust, fault tolerant delivery system that will support games on demand, game rentals, game demos, seamless upgrades and patch management. The game console will be an ALWAYS ON BROADBAND DEVICE. It aims to be easy enough for children to use independently yet so advanced that it will exceeds the needs of hard-core gamers.

The first reaction to bold claims such as these is that the company either know a great secret or that they are just very naive. But Infinium Labs claim their secret lies in the makeup of their team. Infinium Labs was formed by veteran entrepreneurs who have a successful track record in building large scale companies and advanced architectures for supporting massive eCommerce and enterprise applications. Combining skills from Telco, Data Communications, Digital Rights Management, Software Development and Security, the management team brings together a unique array of skills to develop the most robust next generation gaming console and delivery network on the market.
All of their staff may be ideally suited to designing and developing a content delivery system but there does seem to be a lack of people with console experience and in the current competitve market conditions this could prove a very important drawback.

when we heard about start up infinum labs plan to launch an ultrapowerful boardband only console called phantom ( www.phantom.net ) - by this chrismas the flimflam meter hit 10 and explodee. we were convinced it was a hoax the company wouldnt return our calls or emails, the word "infinium" is allready trademarked by another company, and infinum labs's listed addresss is actually a mail boxes ect. in florida. but after much digging, we can confirm that the phantom is real - real ambitious and real unlikely to succeed, but real nonetheless. the plan is for phantom to play regular pc games preloaded on the system, downloaded from infinium's server, or a pay per view basic via a subcription service. think of it as direct tv for gamers. good luck, infinium labs', or whatever your name is once the paywers get done with you.
 
i proably rather buy another Nintendo console when it comes out in a few years
