...hmm We need a Trek version... perhaps NOMAD?

"The Black Hole" could use a VINCENT one...

Lost In Space could use their robot.

Heck, even Forbidden Planet could use theirs

I didn't look at the page because there was a video on it and it would just bog down my connection but how good a quality is this thing? I've found that a lot of these "novelty" electronics aren't worth the money I've- er, I mean people (yeah, that's it) have spent on them.

It's outstanding. It's a fully functional entertainment system. Even has plug ins for and I-Pod and stuff.

Too bad you can't see it. It is a actual R2 unit that (well as seen in the vid) walks, talks and entertains! I have no idea how much it costs but I;ll bet it is too much

Ah, so somebody actually put a lot of thought and development into this thing. As you say, too expensive (educated guess) but it definitely sounds cool.

For what this thing probably costs you could buy a real front projection TV / home theater system, complete with dark room

True. But you know there's some uber Star Wars fan putting up a fifth mortgage on his house to buy one of these because he thinks it's worth it.
