Slashdot Mirror


More Info on Phantom Game Console

MImeKillEr writes "Newsforge is reporting that the Phantom Game Console discussed on Slashdot is really a DRM-protected PC, sans floppy or CD running Windows XP. It uses a proprietary encryption method to protect the data on its harddrive, and the only thing that differentiates this 'game console' from a standard, Windows-running PC is that it has no way to get data on or off of it except through a dedicated connection to Infinium Labs' own servers." Newsforge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN.

    Just a simple question, really. Why do we care that NewsForge and Slashdot are both run by OSDN? The editors are appending this statement to the submission like they feel ethically required to make the comment.

    Usually you see comments like this on CNN.com or in Time Magazine. Where you see them bashing or praising a part of AOL Time Warner and they have an ethical obligation to report that Time/CNN is owned by AOL TW.

    Heh, you wish. The Xbox is wiping the floor with Gamecube in the US. E.g. Infogrames recently published the platform distribution of sales for the Enter The Matrix ... "product". 50% PS2, 25% Xbox, 15% PC, 10% Gamecube. Watch gaming news for a month and you'll see where's the exciting stuff coming. Most PS2 titles the websites rave about have titles like "Kokimichi Gunochi 3" (I hope I didn't come up with something particularly offensive in Japanese) and all the 17 gaijin who played Kokimichi Gunochi 2 are babbling about how good they will be. Microsoft got their foot firmly in the door on this round.
