Infinium May Have Content Partners

eToychest writes "In a move that indicates the video game industry is embracing digital distribution as a vehicle to expand the market, more than 20 game publishers have signed on to supply titles for the Phantom Game Service."

I mean honestly...who in the world can say "Phantom Game Service" with a straight face? Are they really that oblivious to the obvious pun?

And furthermore

Did anyone else read that as "Infinium may have Content Partners" as in "Infinium may have happy, satisfied partners" --- and subsequently chuckle?

Woh buddy hold up. This is Phantom we are talking about. I was thinking more or less games like "Ascii Susan". Who ever said anything about the hardware being good enough to run pac man.

it's a freakin' x86-based windows box... and you don't want PC games on it?

So what are they going to release then?

I love the idea of being able to buy games without getting up off my ass.

You can already do that via Amazon. The hard part is getting off your ass to go pick 'em up out of your mailbox. It's this 9-meter trek that Infinium is trying to save you from.
