A US company called Infinium is producing a new console called Phantom. The big difference between it and the other consoles is that it is really just a very small PC - the controller is a keyboard and a mouse. You'll even be able to play against people playing on PC! The idea is that all PC games publishers will let their games be played on the Phantom as they need no modification to be ported. You just have to download them over broadband by subscription.
"So why don't you just buy a PC?" I hear you ask. The answer is that Infinium is giving the Phantom away for free! You just have to sign up a subscription. Still, we may be facing a repeat of the Xbox mod-chip scandal as the specs are pretty good. 40GB hard drive & 128 graphics card

So do you think this will work, or will Infinium be bankrupt within weeks?
