News R2D2 home theatre droid is strong in the force

Nice. But does it project holograms?

That remote is pretty sweet looking too.

 

I give it 5 months before a rival company comes out with C3PO w/ an X-wing remote...

worst part is, I'd buy 'em both!

 

This....is....so....AWESOME!!!!

But 2500$??? To much for me

 

That is simultaneously the best, most dorky, and silliest thing I have ever seen.

The Star Wars geek in me wants it.
but I don't know if I could justify the expense with it's limited functionality and useless features.

I agree that if it were a little bigger and had a full HTPC inside it I would buy it in a second (assuming I had the spare cash)

Being mobile is cool. But does it talk to you based on the functions you've selected?

 

And where are they going to get the licence?

 

Just awesome

 

I wonder if it's got the most important stuff, such as the cute beep noises..

I NEED ONE OF THOSE!! (Hmm.. wii + R2D2?)

 

The Beeb have a video report about it, and yes .... it makes the sounds
