Its rare that I have sit at the Volunteer desk at work, and when I do, I like to browse the web, something I don’t get do very often, well besides the obvious Facebook and email browsing. During my frolic through the interweb I came across Engadget’s Holiday Gift Guide which lists 3 levels of gifts, the On the Cheap, which they feature Apple TV, which allows you to stream content from your apple devices directly to your TV, along with the ability to connect to Twitter, Facebook, Netflix and more. On the Mid scale they feature the updated PS3, which would be a nice addition to my own home as its a nice BluRay player and would allow me to play some nice games with my buddy in Ontario (One Province Over). Then there is the Kicker, listed under “Money’s no object”. The Ultimate screen for movie lovers…
The Sony Bravia XBR-84X900 84-in TV screen… Its freakishly huge, I don’t even think there would be enough room in my living room for this, or the bedroom, or any room in the apartment… Let alone trying to figure out who would deliver suck a beast, or how they would get it up to my 3rd floor apartment. I do like the feature of the full HD split screen mode, My buddy in Alexandria, Ontario would love this screen, and we would be able to play MW3 and Borderlands 2 in split screen without having to squint.
Bat at $25k, I think I could find something a little better to spend the funds on, like a car, or a really nice gaming PC…(and a car), or something a lot less cheaper… I mean, it doesn’t even have any smart TV features like Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, etc. At $25,000 it should include a lifetime membership to Netflix, or something to make the purchase feel less like a burning hole in your pocket.
