So we keep getting the CES pre-announcements of "So and so company will
introduce a new whatchamacallit that will be capable of yada-yada. The expected price is something and availability
isgenerally expected to be sometime." OK, maybe we're exaggerating a little (or not), but we figure to have some fun with the
approach. Actually, we thought you could use a little high-def fun, so hit us up in the comments and
let's play a little "Mad Libs: CES", shall we? Just post your comment by filling in these italicized
"blanks":
"Insert Company Name will introduce a new Insert Product Name that will be capable of Insert functionality. The expected price is Insert Price and availability is generally expected to be Insert a date." Have at it and we'll see if we can rustle up a used CES press-pass or something of even lesser value for the most creative.
Fantabulous TV will introduce a new intergalactic pvr that will be capable of recording programs that haven't even aired yet, forget time-shifting, this is time-travel. The expected price is 1 arm and a leg and availability is generally expected to be Q1 of the next century.
Samsung will introduce a new 93" HD plasma that will be capable of upscaling/upsampling SDTV broadcasts to 1080p flawlessly with the latest technology in video and light processing. The expected price is a rather astounding $300 and is part of samsung's "no television viewer left behind" campaign to spread the glory of HD. Availability is generally expected to be in or around Q2 2006.
Perpetual motion INC will introduce a new MegaSuperDuperX17 projector that will be capable of downscaling HDTV to SDTV, with extra craptacular performance and start playing the worst movie ever ( http://imdb.com/title/tt0400172/ ) every time your burglary alarm goes of, to make it practically imune to theft! The expected price is too much and availability is generally expected to be some time after Duke Nukem forever is released.
