Whatever happened to the Phantom? I was just sitting here talking about ghosts and it just came to mind.

Like, i remember reading about it in video game magazines in Barne and Noble a couple of years ago. I think there were was a review on the real system. i just figured it was real.

The Phantom is a controversial video game console that is under development by Infinium Labs. The device is planned to be capable of playing current and future PC games, giving the system a massive initial game library and making it easier for developers to produce games for the system. The system also uses a direct-download content delivery service instead of the discs and cartridges used by most game consoles.

The Phantom has caused quite a bit of controversy in both the gaming and business worlds due to the constant pushing back of its release date and a number of financial scandals involving Infinium Labs. Infinium Labs has lost more than $62,700,000 since its creation in its efforts to create the Phantom Console.[1] As of February 21, 2006, the Phantom has been delayed indefinitely until Infinium Labs obtains more funding.

On May 16, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission accused Infinium Labs founder and former CEO Timothy Roberts of running a pump and dump scheme in promoting The Phantom console in 2004.[2]

Controversial in that it was a load of shit and Infinium Labs or whatever was cheating people out of money more likely than not.
