The Phantom is real!

Attack of the Show on G4 is showing a demo of the phantom as I type this. They actually have a connected box up and running, showing exactly what it can do. The Phantom is a real product!

According to the company rep that was on, it will be shipping "around" the same time as the 360.

I can't wait to play this thing! I love the idea of playing PC games on my TV.

I'd be interested to know what the price will be. This thing includes a hard drive (size not specified but it'll probably be quite large), and will need some pretty high-spec processing and VPU power.

With pc gaming on a drought, I wonder if this would be a good investment? Also most "good" pc games are being ported to consoles already. One more thing is my favorite pc genre is the real time strategy and my understanding is the phantom will use controllers instead of keyboard and mouse, although I do like the idea of playing classics like sam and max or monkey island in my tv on the comfort of my couch.

PC gaming is not on a drought.

PC gaming may be highly ignored, but it definiately isn't on a drought.

sorry, but after half life 2 I haven't found anything new worth playing, definitely waiting for the new age of empires and rise of nations

You know, I think I liked it better when The Phantom was a hoax.

He is the ghost who walks. He will seek out evil and pirates wherever they are to be found. Using his powerful skull ring and dual pistols, he will right wrongs and protect the jungle.

Wait a minute...We're talking about the pulp comics hero right?
