Greatest piece of home entertainment EVER? I think so...

Taken from Gizmodo...

"We knew that there was a motorized, fully-articulated R2-D2 projector with built-in DVD, iPod dock, all kinds of digital media inputs, and Millennium Falcon remote control, but we never—EVER—imagined it would be so amazingly drooltastic as this video shows. Time to put on your LEGO-made Han Solo jacket or Leia bikini, and buy this thing—because after watching it in action, I don't care about the lack of Full HD support: this thing is absolutely I must have, caress, fondle, and lick all over material. Reaching nerdgasm, however, still costs $2,995."


If you haven't seen it...you owe yourself...

    Man, for that price, it better give me blowjobs too. Sloppy ones, at that. No cold, dry, machine-like robot sucking.

    Can we forget the price for a second and talk about the actual product? I think it's quite impressive. Does it do everything you think it should do? Does the remote work for you? I agree with others on the site that a lightsaber remote would have been cooler.

    All those questions seem moot when you realize it's $3000

    I understand.

    Believe me, I'm as practical as the next guy/girl and could never pay out such coin for something that's such an incredible novelty. (My wife would kill me, and I would probably beat her to it actually)

    I just thought it was cool, and that maybe others might too.

    So you're saying I am wrong in thinking that it is pretty damn cool, nifty, swell or even top drawer?

    Designed so that when you salute it the lightsaber shoots out of the top?

    Ok, forgetting the price. They should have added a port for a fleshlight. Because if you have one of these in your home you have obviously given up on sex with another human being and you should have just used that $3000 on whores. Whoops, there's that whole price thing again.

    See, now that would be pretty great, especially if it could sense where you were somehow and shoot it at you to catch.:P (Ok, yeah, that's pretty damn geek lazy there)

    This is a valid point

    I think if I'm ever incredibly wealthy this is one of the things I'll secretly own for when I'm eating cheetohs in my boxers at three in the morning, but will never emerge otherwise

    It also needs a robotic phallus to interact with the other computers and electronics in my house. By giving them a good solid robot boning, and spinning it.

    If this stimulus plan gave me $3000 dollars instead of $300 I would be highly tempted to buy this. I am hardly a Star Wars fan and I find it fascinating.

    This is pretty tits, and those that say otherwise are just bitter they can't afford it.

    I'm bitter that I can't afford this thing, but I'm not going to knock it. It's awesome.

    I can't afford $3000 hooker, either, but you don't see me trying to convince myself that they're horrible.
