Sarasota, Fla. -- Infinium Labs, which has been stealthily developing a PC-based broadband video game console, announced on Monday for the first time that its Phantom gaming console will go on sale Nov. 18. The Phantom will cost $199 on its own, but will be offered for free if consumers purchase a two-year subscription to the $29.95 per month broadband gaming service. The device -- which comes with a gamepad, a mouse and a custom keyboard -- will allow subscribers to play a selection of free PC games included with their subscription on any TV, as well as rent or purchase other game titles. Florida-based Infinium said the device will be manufactured in Taiwan by Biostar, and will feature a 40GB hard drive, an AMD Athlon CPU, and Nvidia graphics processing units and platform processors. Infinium Labs also said that its recently announced first round of venture capital financing increased from $44 million to $46 million following an additional commitment from Reich Capital.
