    don't know how new or old this article is, but Penny Arcade have an article titled "Phantom Impressions" at http://www.penny-arcade.com/phantom.php3 which talks about a presentation of the console at the International Game Developers Association

    makes interesting reading...

    Heh, even if the phantom is the best thing ever it'll still be totally useless to about 98% of the Irish population since most of us don't have broadband and the majority of those who do have caps.

    true.

    to me i think if the console does make it to the consumer, it's ahead of its time as i think most gamers still prefer to have a game stored on disc (i.e. DVD, CD) format then have it downloaded just to play it, which takes time to do, eats into your cap and thirdly as its stored on the console, can be a pain to have to download again if the console breaks down or somehow wipes the game from its storage.

    apparently they want to charge a subscription fee and have advertising as well. for me, to pay a monthly fee to play games on a console and then have to put up with ads as well as paying huge broadband fees every month, is just not worth it, in my opinion.
