The Phantom
Frostillicus:
That pretty much sums it up. I remember when this phantom was announced ages ago - everyone thought it was a hoax. Maybe it still is (pay per play??). and the Ngage is just silly.

I'd call the xbox a pc wanna-be but I wouldn't give that label to a PS2 or gamecube... The hard drive is what sets the xbox apart from every console to this point.

but the 2 things that come with the xbox, ethernet and hdd, are both available for the ps2... plus, the ps2 has the whole linux, keyboard, mouse thing coming (or already out). the only dif is that the xbox is built in, whereas the ps2's are external.
oh, and yes, i am in denial :P

What does the PS2 hard drive cost? :P
For $6 you can buy a xbox USB adapter and plug in many USB devices, like keyboards, mice, memory cards, zip drives...
PS/2 has Linux coming? Xbox has it today along with more support from the modding and programming communitys than any device has ever seen before.
Lilwolf:
It might make some money. Why? If it's a cheap PC with a decent video card.
It coudl end up being a better version of the xbox that plays all PC games.
of course you have to buy the games from them. But if they all come out.. it might not be all that bad.
Question is if they will be able to sell almost all PC games for it pre-configured for the system....
but why doesn't it have a cdrom drive? Then it might be worth it?
Also note.... Its ONLY available with broadband.... Hope they don't mind only selling in cities.
