Default How would you tell the missus you need £2000 for this!

I want one of these bad boys and I don't care that it costs 2 bags + shipping I'm having one oh yes!

Heard about it on the radio Chris moyles has one, I didn't think it was going to be this cool and yay I have wooden floors perfect!

I wonder if those who buy the Web cam version will talk into it saying 'Help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope'

IIRC its NEC who make the Projector part of the unit

I was very tempted while watching the video then realized that after a few weeks of playing it would sit in the corner and never get touched again.

It does look good, but is it just a really small scale model with small scale furniture in order to make it look half decent? Fantastic if you were a Starwars fan but as above, prob would end up in the corner (a bit like my Robosapien)

Oh and as far as the missus is concerned, does she ever shy away on the prices of her shoes? Just tell her it didn't cost half as much as she spends on them!

It's not even HD so why bother? It was advertised by Play.com ages ago, and they have a video, but I don't see the point.

The best picture is on the ceiling, so it makes me wonder, how many people can play Mario-kart or watch a film while lying down without dropping off to the world of nod?

It may have the official sound clips, but you can probably get a replica saber for £60...

Why settle for a crappy projector that's not even to scale... when for a few more £££'s you can get a full size 1:1 astromech driod with lights and sounds

They also do C3-PEO.... he's a few quid more though
