Toshiba is hoping to take the television market to a whole new level later this year with the introduction of a 55-inch model based on the powerful Cell multimedia processor.

Holy cow, that is some sorta beast! I'll wait until the half-price sale is on though. :p

Oh Come on! .. I just bought my LCD 40" 1080p TV...Now this?
I need time to use it man!!! I am already feeling last-gen.

Why can't the PS3 do anything that sounds even half as impressive as this monster, 8 channels at once??? Thats a whole lot of TV, those crazy Japanese sure do like to watch their TV.

Do want. 3TB of storage! Damn, I have less in my pc. I'm asking myself how one person could record that much TV..

What a beast of a TV, I don't know if theres ever 8 things on TV worth watching at any one time though. Also how does one hook up 8 separate channels to a TV?

Sweet now if only I could win the lottery.

So, one needs a mini reactor to power this beast? :P

With 8 grown-up movies playing at the same time, I can get back to work in seconds! Of course, for $11,200, work will need to pay me well.

Remember that scene in Back to the Future Part II with the video wall and Marty watching all those channels at once. I guess we're there.

mini? I'd have two on hand
