anyone buying into the phantom video game console?

EcPercy · Jan 7, 2004, 12:48 AM

just wondering if there is anyone that is considering buying this console... or has the hype merely died concerning this platform...

not me
i have all the other consoles of this gen (PS2, Xbox, Game Cube, GBAsp) but this looks like a load of S#%t
if it even appears at all.

Phantom is what it is, not there.

Lol, phantom has been coming forever, I think I first heard about it 3 years ago, never gonna happen.

well considering the guy thats running the company has run other scams its extremely unlikly that the phantom is real.

Someone checked in on this guy and found out where the production factory was located...turns out the 'factory' is a table, with a rather nice phone on it, based in a warehouse. When the guy phoned up asking how they were going to build the thousands of consoles in a working area of 3x6 he was very politely told were to stick it and whos mam to do it with :o

if it comes out it will just go unnoticed. because everyone knows about the playstation and Xbox, ect. not the phantom

GutterPunk · Jan 9, 2004, 07:10 PM

If it ever comes out i wonder if it'll hit media... Ive seen debate about this on a few other forums... but of course gotta come out first

I thought the Phantom was a scam to get people invest a couple million dollars for nothing.

There really is a project to build this thing?
Maybe he didn't *cough*cheat*cough* money.
