I just heard about the new console, Phantom, via my only real news source besides The National with Peter Mansbridge, Penny Arcade.

> IGN pondered many of the same questions we did, it would appear. It seems like it’s essentially a sealed PC with a broadband service component that delivers retail games. I mean, don’t quote me on that. They could be selling goats for all I know.

I dunno what to think of it, but I have a feeling that it won’t make it past this stage if it isn’t a hoax. If it is a hoax, be proud of yourself mr. hoax guy, cause it REALLY takes a lot to get IGN to say something. You must have almost broken a sweat! :trout: :trout:
