The goal of the public beta process is to have 100 or more experienced gamers test the Phantom next generation game console that supports games on demand, game rentals, game demos, seamless upgrades and patch management. At launch, the Phantom will be the fastest console on the market and will include a broad selection of pre-loaded games, games on-demand and game rentals. We expect our Beta launch to begin in Q4 2003. The game console is an "always on broadband device" which will allow gamers a wealth of options, from wireless connectivity to massive multiplayer capability to allowing gamers to demo games before purchasing or subscribing. Infinium Labs expects to unveil the Phantom to public audiences for the first time in late summer at the Ultimate Gamers Expo - August 15-17th, 2003.
