Phantom Game Console Presentation

superultra writes "Glaximus has posted an impressions piece on Penny-Arcade of one of Infinium Lab's first press conferences. Most notable is that which Gabe, of Penny-Arcade fame, also replicates on Penny-Arcade's front page: 'One of the last questions asked was rather direct and perhaps aimed a bit low. "So, I have all my consoles at home, and I have a very powerful PC that plays lots of games and can be upgraded simply by installing new hardware myself. Why would I want to buy a Phantom?" Rob's answer? "Well then you aren't really part of the Phantom's core user base." That got some chuckles from the crowd, sure. But it was Rob's next statement that had the real impact. "See, you people say you have enough consoles, and a powerful PC, but whenever a new console comes out, you people always buy it."' Other details are scarce, except that the release date is now April 2004, and that the Phantom will use highly advanced DMCA techniques such as Epoxy Encapsulation and Case Intrusion Detection. Doing so will, no doubt, provide the Missing Link in Digital Rights Managment."

All that for $300? Hell, the 80 gigs alone has got to cost at least $1500... *please mod or reply +1, funny or -1, unfunny, not -1, stupid*

Slashdot is really going downhill

[Musc]

Remember when slashdot used to be a reputable news source? Clearly those days are long gone.
Since when are web-comics a news source? Also, whats with those stupid links to elmer's glue and some rubics cube type puzzle doing up there?

I propose a new addition to the slashdot moderation system. There should be an option to moderate the STORY as '-1 Troll'.

Just as an aside, I don't think Clinton would have recognized disenfranchisement if it sucked his dick. Anybody who thinks differently got played.
