Infinium Labs is a company developing a new video game console called the Phantom, which has gone through several revisions and currently slated for a 2005 release. Infinium was founded by Tim Roberts in 2002.
Steve Lynch wrote a less-than-positive report on the company and its founder that was posted in September 2003 at HardOCP, a computer hardware news website. Infinium Labs filed a defamation suit in 2004 against HardOCP claiming that the article "painted a portrait of a company intent on swindling the public." On February 27, HardOCP filed a countersuit, asking a judge to rule that it did not libel the company or its founder. The court ruled in favour of HardOCP on January 5, 2005.
The Phantom is at essence a personal computer, made of off-the-shelf components and hardware. The makers claim it will be able to play games streamed over the Internet through a broadband connection for a monthly fee.
