a new video game console

http://www.phantom.net/

I just read an article about it in Electronic Gaming Monthly May issue, that a company called Infinium Labs is launching a broadband only console, by this Christmas season. Now the info I read was unbelievable. They say it will be able to play PC games built into the system, games downloaded from Infinium servers, or pay-per-play subsription. Here are the specs
OS- WIN XPe
processor - 2.0+AMD or Intel
256-512MB ddr ram
high capacity hard drive
Wireless NIC, controller, keyboard, mouse
Dolby Dig 5.1

And it will cost, get this, $600+

Nice...don't count on it lasting if Sony, MS, or Nintendo decide to come out with another console next spring.

It will be at least another year untill you see a new console from those three. probably late 2004 or 2005.

i gave up on consoles after 2 dreamcasts in a row died on me.. and online games are so much more fun anyway

lol that sucks man. but i got a PS2 and personally i wouldn't trade it for any other console.and i can't waity to get the network adapter. i think ever since nintendo came out with n64 they sucked.older systems i love them.i wouldn't buy a x box for the reason that oh maybe THEY START ON FIRE!lol

Got that right man! Heh...PS2, so awesome. Sry, but when it comes to gaming, other than computer...no one beats Sony Entertainment.

Jason425, I have a dreamcast and it is working just fine. It must have been a glitch in your systems.

I agree that Sony is the top of the consoles, but remember games like Zelda, Metroid Prime, Mario are only on Nintendo's systems. If you want to play those you will need to buy a gamecube. I know you, MIK3, will want to play Zelda after playing it on the N64. And the only way to play is on a Gamecube. I don't see a reason to get the Xbox, wow Xbox live
and only broadband I am going to get this second. Oh wait a minute the stores are all closed, darn.
