I was sure American justice was like a Gong Show but it seems to be working in this case!

Who said the 1990's were dead? I'd love to know how much the CEO and his pals at the venture capital firm lavished on themselves -- and whose pension funds were raided to make it happen. Our SEC officials -- or politicians thereof must be getting something out of it too. |

Where does it say that Infinium lost the case to HardOCP? It just says that the lawsuit was filed in Florida?

Hmmm. HardOCP pulled the reference. Maybe their lawyers didn't like the bragging? |

Good job HardOCP. Good job giving Infinium a legitimate reason to pull the Phantom - period.
We'll never really know if it was vaporware or not, thanks to this lawsuit. |

Yea, they claim they ran out of money but did they really have it in the first place. Sounds like they were getting ready to scam a bunch of people but backed out. |

Huh? They (Infinitum) claimed they had operational prototypes. Yet no one has seen them, so it is vaporware...... Regardless of the reason they never started sales of "the product". |

| I've Played the phantom it does exsist
The phantom was at E3 this year and had a huge booth. They had about 5 units all playing different things. I watched a demo and played a little Ut2k3. I don't really see the big deal w/ the phantom though, all it is, is a computer w/ a tv out, big deal. Thier subscription service was going to be a joke as well. It was like 20/month for old games and the new games you still had to pay full price for. The Phantom was actually playing online w/ other comps in utk3 which was really weird, i would of thought it would of been more like xbox live and less like a pc but nope, it was a pc in a shiny case. |

Go watch the "fully functional Phantom" video here:

It's a computer. Nothing more. A computer. |

Re: Revenge of the Nerds?
Umm ... Infinium brought this upon themselves when they initially sued Hardocp simply because of comments made about the POS Phantom.

A pension fund in a start up company? Your bleak cynicism has blinded you from reality.
