O site foi feito pelo Who's We Studios... Não seria a primeira vez que eles fariam umas brincadeiras a nível de marketing... Quando foi o lançamento do site deles então... :rolleyes: Não é por acaso que os gajos estão num hype dos diabos!!! Na volta não tinham mais nada para fazer e puseram-se a "inventar"... :rolleyes:


Hugs.
 
Hoax ou não na deixa d ser interessante de c ler:


I spoke to David Frederick, chief marketing officer at Infinium Labs.

BVGH: Am I nuts, or is Phantom less of a story about hardware, and more about a new way to deliver content?

Frederick: [laughs] Man, you are so on top of things. I'm not trying to be patronizing. That's it! It's a content delivery system. Phantom is a new way to deliver content into your living room. The box is a means to an end.

I thought of my TiVo, then my grandma's WebTV.

BVGH: It's WebTV, but for gaming.

Frederick: In a way. But we've taken it to the 10th degree. WebTV tried to take advantage of folks who weren't tech savvy. That was a closed, shrinking market. Whereas all our research indicates that online gaming -- and gaming as a whole -- is rapidly growing.

Frederick explained that retailers can really only carry the top 200 games. They just don't have the shelf space for more, he said. Legacy content that's six months old could still be really fun to play, but retailers have to make room for the new stuff -- until Phantom, he hopes.

Because it's always online, he went on, you'll be able to "shop" for games just like you use your TiVo to shop for television shows. And you can "try before you buy."

Frederick expects Phantom to come bundled with 50 or so games right off the bat, but wouldn't say which publishers, if any have already signed up. Still, he says, the folks at Infinium will make their scheduled release date of Q1 in '04, all for under $300 bucks at the outset, plus $10 bucks a month. And, of course, the cost of any premium games bought a la carte.

And as for whether the whole thing is an evil hoax?

"More's comin'. It's real. I've played it," Fredrick said.
