"[H]ard Sucks" Infinium Labs.

nev_payne · 12-January-05, 03:21 PM

Since the victory of the now well renowned "come to us if your having lawyer trouble" [H]ardOCP forums and review site, it seems a nice little turf war if brewing between the 2 parties. [h] had t-shirts made, proclaim their victory with the court order on the t-shirt. Infinium labs responded...with a rather blackened t-shirt with some rather nasy words on it about hardOCP.

Actually they had a working prototype at E3. Yea right,It was probably nothing more than a PC in a small designer case runnig WinXP with a Kiosk type interface running for their menu crap. We already have the Xbox and Xbox 2 coming up, so why in the hell would anyone want this. They are giving the console free to 2 year contract agreements, whoopty doo, buy a PC you lamers, you still have to buy games for the damn thing and the subscription probably isnt cheap.

Lol if I were them Id sell the case on as an HTPC barebone/ working system rather than a console...I mean when is a console not a console? When its got a keyboard and mouse and runs windows XP. They must know deap down this product could brake them.
