Phantom Entertainment, creators of the doomed-from-the-start Phantom gaming console, have just launched their very own online video game store, while also announcing funding for the next production run of their Phantom Lapboards.
Hopefully, if you knew enough about a Phantom Lapboard, you knew enough to be very, very wary about ordering one. If you’re not, pay attention: be very, very wary about ordering one. GayGamer’s Boy of Tomorrow decided to take one for the team and place an order, so as to document the experience. His tale is a sad one, full of unanswered messages, forwarded calls, invalid email addresses and 404 errors, leaving him with the highly likely theory that Phantom Entertainment (formerly Infinium Labs) have quietly closed their doors and skulked off into the night. Is The Phantom Lapboard Actually Real? [GayGamer]
Infinium Labs Phantom console will never see the light of day, but it seems that it’s finally going to release something as the long-in-development Phantom Lapboard—a wireless keyboard and mouse combo—is available for purchase and may actually ship sometime soon. For $US 130, your pointing, clicking and typing needs can be met easily from the comfort of your lap should you choose to risk a purchase from the Phantom online store.
Caveat emptor and all that.
