Ok, here's the thing they claim.

They are a new company. They will make a game console that is virtually compatible with ALL of your games. PS1, PS2, XBox, GC, 360, PS3...

Not convinced.

Even if this does happen to actually work when their finished. It won't be released because Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo wouldn't let them. Because for it to play all games. The will have to make emulators and use Bios. Thats where their trouble will be.

You mean the Phantom?

It looks like a desktop computer with an FPGA... running emulators?

No I think it sounds like a well written lie.

well it wouldn't HAVE to use the BIOS, but it would certainly be helpful (of course that is pretty much the thing that they can't use, though).

With over half of the main page devoted to 'investors', and constant marketing speak, it looks like this company is setup to principally burn through investment capital.

Anyone else getting a 404 when they click a link on that main page?

yeah... It's a scam. Think. They need to purchase the rights to use other systems games, and who in the world would throw their source of revenue out the door like that?

Besides, look at the "invest" section

Someone needs to get rich, so it might as well be you!

Scammer much?

Seems very scammy indeed. I wouldn't trust it as far as you can throw it.

I can't pick it up, and thus cannot throw it. 0 trust.
