Talk about a TRUE home theater in a box!!!!

Hey, I just came across this article today:

Wow, this looks pretty interesting. Now THAT'S a true home theater in a box! You've got a DVD player, receiver, speaker, subwoofer, and projector all in one. So all you do is open it up and throw the picture on the wall. (note: don't throw the unit, that doesn't work so well)

I'll have to check this thing out. I have no doubt that there are SEVERE limitations with sound and picture (it's only 480p) but for an item like this design at only $1300, really, how much more do you want?

You know, this definitely isn't a permanent solution for someone wanting set up a quality system in their home. But you know what? I travel a LOT. Right now my travelling "theater" is a 15.4" laptop with audiophile earplugs. I can see my flying to wherever in the country, then whipping out the "instant theater" and throwing the picture on my hotel room wall, tent wall, barracks wall, or wherever I happen to be for a 'flick with the boyz.

If it works out and all the features are up to par it could be the "boom box" of home theatre. Talk about all in one convenience.


And of course if the quality is acceptable then it may be just the thing for you and your buddies. :^x
