More Info on Phantom Game Console

Posted by michael on from the phantasmic-force dept.

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.

    Why are companies putting restrictions on everything you buy now??? Last time I checked, when you buy something it's yours. This is getting stupid.
