The Phantom is a cancelled video game console that was allegedly under development in 2004 by Phantom Entertainment, known as Infinium Labs at that time. The cancelled device was supposedly planned to be capable of playing current and future PC games, giving the system a massive initial game library and making it easier for developers to produce games for the system. The system was supposedly designed to use a direct-download content delivery service instead of the discs and cartridges used by most game consoles.
The Phantom was first seen in action at the May 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) as a working prototype.
