They've even made humdrum activities like brushing your teeth fun. Back when I was a kid, I was lucky to find a toothpaste that didn't taste like minty fresh battery acid!

Mind you, I needed it then and I need it now. I'd settle for that little remote controlled one in the short term. But I cant find that little bugger in canada. I havent looked. But Im sure i cant find it.

It sucks that its 480p though, and expensive as hell.

"I bought a life sized R2D2 for $3000? Steal! ...and something here about it being able to project things..."

A guy who has $3000 to freely spend probably doesn't care of all the other stuff he could've got instead with the money. Hell, if I did I probably wouldn't either.

For $3000, you could buy a VERY HIGH QUALITY projector, running true 1080p (1920x1080), throw in a DVD player that can play the same stuff, throw in a 5.1 home theater in a box stereo system, and have money left over to make your own remote-control R2D2 that can do more than just go forward and turn one direction while backing up.

You have to be so careful with projectors specs, they're always advertised as 1080p or 720p but when you dig into the specs you often find that their their native resolution is much lower at only 800x600 or 1024x768 and it does the HD resolutions by downscaling the image! It's a total con IMHO, but they seem to get away with it.

I just read 480p on some statsheet at one of the websites selling it.
