Investigating Infinium Labs

Posted by michael on Thursday September 18, 2003 @03:58AM from the snooping-for-fun-and-profit dept.

the web writes "By now, the whole world has heard of Infinium Labs and their infamous Phantom Game Console, but what do we really know about what could be the next big gaming console or the people bringing it to market? At this point, we know little beyond what they've been willing to share. We haven't seen the console outside of a few 3D renderings, we haven't seen the facility where they claim beta units are being built, and we haven't seen the Infinium Labs base of operations." Our own Roblimo has found some reality to the Phantom console.

I don't think that the Phantom will work by Dr+Reducto · 2003-09-18 04:04 · Score: 5, Informative

I scoured my game magazines to find info on the Phantom, and I came across my GameInformer that covers this years' E3. They have an interview with the CEO or President or something, I forget.

What i learned though, is that they are thinking about just selling them on Ebay, or other distrobution channel, since they don't have major support. The big thing though, is that they want to make the system available with different amounts of RAM or HD space. This is a huge no-no for consoles. Consoles should *not* become PC's, with regards to upgrading.
