RE: new Broadband gaming console Replacement XBOX ?

["UKHA" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a nice idea, but I don't think it'll play any PC game... It'll play PC
games that have had a bit of porting to the Phantom platform AND have been
delivered by the Phantom Service i.e. "Try, rent or buy games ***on
demand***"

It'll be interesting to see how they deliver games like UT, which come on
three CDs, 'on demand'....
...a new definition of on-demand I suspect - 10 hours maybe to deliver a
new
big game?? Hardly on demand...

But I guess it's the way things are going with DRM etc...

I wish I could explain this device.

However quite simply, if you like the idea of an XBOX type device that can
play ANY PC game. Then this may be the device for you.

http://www.phantom.net/

Click on the PRODUCT DEMO and watch the video.

Personally I think this is a great device. And I'm sure will be able to
play videos and music as well.

Overall could be a welcome addition to your 'automated home'
