Phantom Rematerializes on PCs
by Chris Remo, Aug 16, 2006 2:17pm PDTFirst things first: the creators of the perpetually delayed Phantom Game Service claim that their product still exists. That said, the product is no longer a physical console. Rather, it will be PC-only subscription software that will allow users to download games from the online Phantom Game Service. This will be coupled with the separate Phantom Lapboard product, the wireless lap-based keyboard/mousepad setup that the company has been claiming it will sell separately for some time now. Along with this news came a relaunched official site detailing the new Phantom and containing an online store from which one can buy the Phantom Lapboard for the low price of $129.99. The Lapboard is now set for release this November. Phatom Entertainment will be exhibiting at the upcoming Games Convention in Leipzig but, to no great surprise, there is no projected release date for the Phantom Game Service itself.

The image I get of these guys is that of the compulsive liar, caught in his lie, who then continues to lie all the harder in a vain attempt tp extricate himself.

It seems to me that this groove would attract sweat and filth and need to be cleaned out periodically.

No way I'd pay $130 for it though - sheesh, I'd rather RSI, badback and herpes than paying that much for it

Either way, this sounds like bullshit. Other companies are already doing it, and better. If I wanted to play games on my tv, i'd buy an xbox, wii, or PS3.
He used to boast "I can bullshit anyone into anything!"
This shit reminds me of that.

Good job guys, I would have personally chosen the "skip town" option to avoid the embarrassment. I suppose they were kind of forced to do this though to avoid even more legal trouble.
