"Phantom"

So, what is it?
www.phantom.net has been updated with new details about the console (namely that infinium are now partnered with nVidia and Intel)

Is this going to turn out like that linux-based open source console that was going to be a "must have" for hardcore gamers and coders?

In an industry where well known players like Sega and Nintendo can't keep up pace with the big spenders, how do these people think they'll get anywhere?

Dn't know if it's any use but,

Infinium Labs expects to unveil the Phantom to public audiences for the first time in late summer at the Ultimate Gamers Expo - August 15-17th, 2003.

Oddly enough, my Japanese teacher (a middle-aged woman) told me that I had to talk to college girls.. errr.. I mean students.. because they're the people most keen to try out their English.. so I can ask them for help...

At least, that's what I'll tell customs when they find me smuggling some back...

Oh, and do they really all wear sailor costumes? (Drool)

Your right. But it will go on sale at a high price. But the hardware itself so far is looking good.

I shall do..
But it's nopt going to be cheap - £20-£25 per night for a youth hostel!

Ah well, I've been told by other members of my Japanese class that the girls in Japan are fiinnnnneeeee... which is worrying since they're married 30-somethings! (and that last remark wasn't about the girls...)

Oh, and back to the topic... do you think Japanese people will like the console, or will it require a new residence to put the console in?
