Its just a fraud, very nice flash work though... maybe he should spend his time doing flash for a living instead of ripping people off :)

Heres the article:

I'll bet $500 that it's fake... but since I don't have $5, much less $500, let's use Monopoly money... :D

Up till today, nobody on the net has seen a real picture of the Phantom, all images are renders ;)

As per description it's also a machine where the games will be stored in, or you rent them for a short period of time (Play on Demand), you will never have a game disc in you hands like a system as the Xbox, PC or PS2 and for a hardcore gamer it's all about, showing of their games.

I saw a picture in a gaming magazine, which looked like the actual thing, with a modded picture on the same page, it looked more real in a living room based setting, I will find it and scan it. who knows

What are the laws about claiming bankruptcy and starting a business. It seems he is a smart fraud. He puts the business under his family members name, and then declares bankruptcy keeping his credit clean.
