Interesting (RE: Phantom console)
Found an interesting little article on the console, the company and the potential scam behind it all

http://www.gamespot.com/all/news/news_6089591.html

EDIT;  had a quick peek at the console website (www.phantom.net) - it's interesting that they have no publishers of games listed (just a 'currently updating' type disclaimer) and that the forum link is 404-ed.  They have one little image on the title page showing what I presume are forthcoming titles....such as the exciting looking 'Lemonade Tycoon'!

I always thought the Phantom system was stupid...   Couldn't imagine that it could even compete with the big 3.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Meh. All glowing and humming means in a piece of computer hardware is that you need more heatsinks.

Nah. Humming means you need rubber grommets and the like to kill the vibration.

What, you mean that's not standard?

I just thought it was force feedback for the entire console.

The whole thing is a joke and that Roberts guy looks like a grifter of the largest sort.  I hope the judge takes one look at this case, throws it out and Roberts in the pokey.  Damn Con Man!

Read up on the CEO of the company, it's not the first time he's pulled a fast one.
