Phantom Service Well Received

Infinium Labs is in development on The Phantom Game Service, the first end-to-end, on-demand game service. Delivered over broadband, the Phantom Game Service will offer casual and avid gamers a broad library of titles, available anytime, day or night, from the comfort of their living room. Infinium Labs is led by a management team with extensive experience in interactive media, entertainment, broadband services, technology and video games.

In a recent poll:

• Two-thirds of the respondents said the service was more appealing than current rental options
• More than half said the service was more appealing than their current purchase options
• Nearly seventy percent saw benefits in the time it takes to receive a game or have it in hand
• Two-thirds cited the ease and simplicity of making a game purchase as a key benefit of the service
• Phantom's ability to deliver a broad array of titles holds significant appeal to consumers, with 64 percent of respondents citing game availability, in stock and "titles you want" as key attributes of the service.
• Nearly half said they would like a way to play PC games on their living room TVs

In addition, the survey noted that the release of the next round of consoles would have no dramatic impact on the likelihood of purchasing the Phantom service among respondents.
