[H]ard|OCP Wins Case Against Infinium

Advertisement (Why?)

HardOCP has spent close to $200,000 since February of last year in order to keep this article in question online. The law firm of Storm & Hemingway have been incredible to work with and are truly brilliant when it comes to legal strategy. Not only that, they are simply good folks that care about their clients and it has always shined through that they had our best interest at heart. Thanks to John F., Paul, John M., Shawn, and last but certainly not least, Robin B.

Very good news.

Good to hear they won, they deserved it!!

Infinium Labs and their Phantom console really look like a bunch of lies.

Good to hear! Anyone want to sum up the article and the background for me? Kind of a long read, and wonderin if it is worth while.

Thanks....

Alright. I'm sorry, I guess I'm just dumb but I never did understand what Infinium was being sued for. What exactly happened?

Basically, they sued HardOCP for having the audacity to publish the ugly truth about the Phantom gaming console. Infinium sued to get the article removed, and the final outcome of the case clearly substantiates what we knew all along: the Phantom console was hacked up PC P-O-S that would never see the light of a retail display.

Kudos to HardOCP for hanging tough!

Read..... learn..... stop asking questions that a simple mouse click would reveal.

as for now, if you look at the top-right of the site, there is a written in capital letters saying the obvious

#10 mikemyres on 06 Jan 2005 - 02:14

Well since i heard about infinium i've heard about them being raped by all sorts of companys, with infium being sued and sued and sued, and now another. no wonder they've not made this console if it was real in the first place just the name 'phantom' put me off, it means ghostly or sommit silly, which we all know is fake
