"The company believes, based on past performance, that there is a high likelihood that sufficient capital will not be available ... and many or all of these milestones will be missed and the launch date will again shift and/or the company will go out of business," (April SEC document)

Also this from Phantom:

The first news from the company in several months has emerged over the past few weeks, with Infinium announcing that it has appointed The Mauretania Import Export Company (TMIEC), a firm specialising in developing multimedia brands for games, film and TV, to expand its content acquisition efforts.

Thanks Gameindustry.biz (http://www.gamindustry.biz/)!

The stock is trading at 9 cents this morning.
:rolleyes:

Linky on this SEC doc? And the link that is there doesn't work.

That aisde. Happy to see the death of a company that basically made it their mission to insult gamers and treat them like criminals. Not to mention all the lying.

It was trading at $2.25 only 18 months ago. This is CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE on the part of Tim Roberts. I hope he goes to jail; put THAT on his list of 'accomplishments.'

Wait, by my math, that means if you had 17 bucks, you could be the proud owner of a game console by the end of the day. Will someone please buy the whole company, rename it the "Jaleel White 360" and sell it for $100,000?

Anyone?

Yay, more news about the Phantom!

Makes my day. I always perk up when the Phantom or Duke Forever is mentioned in gaming news. I loves me a good train wreck.. that and a bit of schandenfreude.

Shame the people running the company are such fucktards. I don't understand why they were having such a problem really. Their idea wasn't really focused on a console itself, but a content delivery system. Should have just focused on the latter and sold it to the established console companies.

Okay so your saying not to submit the story regarding John Romero's wife leaving him and filing for divorce after he got fired from Midway.

The guys running the Phantom show never planned on making a console. They're left over scam artist entrepenuers from the dotcom days. They start up a company, get investiment capital, sit around on their asses for a few years earning a big salary and skimming more of the capital off the side then they tank the company and do it all again. Its the easy life.

Does this mean we can stop talking about this vile piece of vaporware shit and move on to the real systems and games that are available?? I'm tired of hearing about this non-existent pile of nothing.
