"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?

Excuse me, but did you just post something on the subject of the thread?

...

but apparently we've changed subjects whilst i was writing that so nevermind.

Japan sounds like a funny place to go back packing if you ask me.

They have like, walls, like, made out of paper..

Bring me back a sexy Japaneese school girl.

I don't think it's packing enough 'heat' to do any good. Just being able to play PC games and (some) ported console games isn't enough. For this to blow Sony/Sega/Nintendo/Microsoft out of the water in one splashy blow, it needs to retail at about £50 with the games costing no more than a clean tenner. But with Intel and nVidia being involved in the system specs, this here machine is gonna cost you a pretty penny.

I've just finished a gap year job working for IBM for 10 months - best experience of my life! I moved down south with a group of other people I didn't know (all on the gap year scheme), and we got a house together... I learnt so much, and had a great time!

Now that I'm rich (by student standards) I'm about to set off back packing in Japan - WOO!
