Personally i own an Xbox and am quite happy with it but im interested in the future of the Phantom... if there is a future for it, lol.
From what i understand it uses broadband to transfer the games to a hard drive in the unit. Considering good games these days are aroung 2GB+ in size what if the user has only got something like 256K ADSL? That will take many hours, even days before you can actually PLAY the game.
Then say that there is a large amount of pressure on the distribution server which causes the download speed to decrease even further, not to mention if the server goes down, you dont get any games. Personally i think that "broadband only" will be the death of this console, not to mention the late release date compared to Xbox, GC and Ps2.
As stated, i just want to know what other people think about the phantom.
Does it have a future or not?
