The Phantom Concole - game console that plays PC games (real or hoax?!)

I don't know how that would work, given the ever changing hardware demands that PC games have, not to mention their reliance on keyboard commands that cosole controllers simply can't supply.

If it does, that would be cool, though.

 

Well, the X-Box is basically just a PC that only plays games.

But even then, haxies have evolved it to run linux, and do all sorts of other non-gamish stuff.

It has a highly customized graphics card, but ultimately, it holds its own pretty damn well, especially considering it uses a 533 mhz P4 variant processor

 

well, in an old issue of electronic gaming monthly, they said its the real deal...and this mag is pretty reputable.


Of course, the chances of it being popular? I'm gonna stab at 1 in eleventy billion

 

Why bother? Just get the stupid computer, fer cryin' out loud!! You acn do more with a computer than you can with a game console. C'mon, anybody know of a Play Station program that does word processing?

Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go play HALO for the millionth time.

Rock on

also, the phantom will charge a monthly service to use it...whos gonna want to do that when playing online (for most games) is free?

 

I'm pretty sure I remember reading a big article on how the phantom was a big hoax... The article may have been a hoax though. Who knows, I don't even remember what the source was, I believe it was one of the bigger gaming sites.

 

it's a hoax, and if it isn't a hoax, then it's one of the dumbest things ever.

There's one reason above all other why I believe it to be a hoax, besides the obvious, and that is because they say the phantom will include a cable modem. eeeek..
