Infinium Labs Countersues HardOCP

loftydog writes "Gamespot is reporting that our favorite console manufacturer has thrown down a gauntlet in Florida. Seems they didn't want to play in Texas with HardOCP. Turns out that SCO doesn't have a corner on the lawyer market after all, and we'll see something from Infinium, even if it is an overpaid suit."

    While insane judicial stuff HAS been known to go down in Florida it just seems less likely the Infinium people will somehow face the death penalty there. *sigh*

    Judge: "ok, show your console"

    Infinium: "we can't do that as it would expose our business secrets"

    Judge: "so you have no console?"

    Infinium: "that IS the secret"

  4. . Guess the console is delayed even more now by hc00jw · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was really looking forward to getting my hands on a Phantom game console, but now that Infinium labs are focusing on all this litigation, I guess I am going to have to wait some more!

    Penny Arcade want to be sued too. I guess they'll have to try harder.

    I caught on that the Phantom was a hoax and Infinium a scam the first time I came across information about them last year.

    Why/how has it continued so long when it's obvious to even a dullard like me?

    I really don't understand. It's SO OBVIOUS.

    Classify this with SCO and Scientology in the "wtf!$?!$? It's SO OBVIOUS" category.
