Talking Phantom console at E3 - BSOD

Quote:
Long time [H]'er "Malice" writes in with this report from E3.

I went to see the Phantom demonstrated at E3 and lo and behold, in the first couple of moments the thing blew up and gave up a fat blue screen of death. I was somewhat shooed away, but I snapped a picture with my camcorder on the way out.

We have still yet to find anyone that actually experienced the "service" that the Phantom supposedly will supply. Please let us know if you have as we would like to pass it along.

Infinium Labs still have lawsuits filed against me and Steve for the truths we told you about them here.

Update: Matthew Fore points out here that Gamespot reports the Phantom streaming the game UT2K4. From what I can gather though, this did not happen on the E3 show floor.

To give me an idea of how the system works, the demo dude booted up Unreal Tournament 2004. It took around five minutes to stream the 250 MB of information needed to play the game (which is still faster than installing six CDs).

And people think the Xbox is a PC for your TV. There are no BSOD's on the Xbox.
