Infinium Scams had a display at E3 . . . what's the status of their Phantom console? I can't believe anyone ever supplied money for this project. Has Tim Roberts been arrested yet? Why haven't his investors pulled the fuck out already? It's a big ass mystery to me.

Glad to see HardOCP blowing the lid off this shit. I'll be interested to see what Arstechnica's comments are.

It was more than a display. It was a pretty elaborate booth, and in fact somewhat difficult to find your way out of. They had mocked-up consoles there that didn't seem to do anything.

I think I'm talking about Phantom. Whoever it was who sent out those expensive-looking flyers a couple of weeks before E3.


Apparently, it was such a flurry of bullshit that even extremely skeptical people felt like maybe, just maybe, this would be a real product afterall. Tim Roberts is one of a rare breed of con artists, I guess.
