Phantom Game Console Specs

[Ioman]

Did I read their site correctly that there will be no integrated CD-ROM drive? You need to download and pay for the game that way? If that is true, that is a terrible business model IMO.

It's okay. It uses the luminiferous ether that permeates the universe to transmit games to the console from the future.

Duh!

[Archon]

eheheh.

Dont worry, the included Flux Capacitor will make the download time fly by.

ya,
if ya aint got high speed it will suck.
EVEN high speed will suck...who wants to take 3-6 hours for a DL of a game.
These guys are aiming WAY to high.

DVD at least... THERE CHEAP..

But who thinks it will EVER be released?

[Archon]

I read its supposed to "stream" the games or some sh... stuff like that. I dunno.

Oh, and it REQUIRES broadband.

braod band is fine, but any game is going to fill at least 1 CD if not 2-3...
1 CD at 500kbs SUCKs... looking at 4+ hours to DL.

Yes and all of the game manufacturers are going to get right on creating "streamable" versions of their games that already go way over budget and way over schedule.

[Archon]

well, look at it this way -- there is only one developer ;) Maybe its Atari! ooo! that'd be so awesome! pong an centipede an asteroids oo! missile command!

Yeah.
