Not to beat a dead horse, but I’m about to. Aptly named Phantom Entertainment recently updated their website to show that they’ve cancelled their Phantom Gaming Console. The Gaming service, however, is still supposedly in development. Now it’s to be released for PC as a software application. According to Gamespot’s interpretation, the service will “still be used to ultimately get PC games running on TVs instead of a monitor, as the website lists a “High Definition or Standard Television” among the service’s requirements.” I didn’t know this was the original intent of the Phantom. That sounds like an awful idea – the audience that wishes to play PC titles but doesn’t have the means and is technologically savvy must be incredibly small. We can’t forget about the Phantom hardware either. The Phantom lapboard, recently pushed back from “no later than October” to “November” has a hauntingly high retail price of $129.95. If you order before October you can shave 30 bucks off of that price but I’m not sure that a single person has seen a return on their investment in the company or its products. So, you know, beware and stuff. I can’t wait for hell to freeze over so I can see some of Phantom’s fine products! |
