We were already warned that Sony was gearing up to
push the Blu-ray / HD recording abilities of its VAIO machines, and here's all the proof you need that it plans on keeping its word. Here at
CEDIA, the outfit has unveiled a trio of new all-in-one desktop PCs -- not quite ready for an
HTPC label, but definitely catering to the hordes of high-def junkies out there. The VAIO JS, LV and RT desktop models all boast at least an optional integrated BD optical drive, and surprisingly, each model is incredibly distinct. For instance, the budget-minded JS boasts a 20.1-inch XBRITE-ECO LCD alongside an integrated webcam and microphone for $1,000, while the LV includes a 24-inch WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) screen, optional BD writer and built-in DVR functionality with up to 1TB of storage; furthermore, it offers an HDMI input for connecting your set-top-box or PS3. The $3,300 (and up) RT comes with a 25.5-inch Full HD LCD aimed at video editors, and there's also integrated digital TV tuners, HDMI in / out, up to 8GB of RAM and one of Intel's Core 2 Quad CPUs. The trifecta should arrive in mid-October for those interested, and there's one more luscious angle after the break.

Uh, that thing is REALLY thick. the design looks like it would have been cool three years ago. I like the idea of all in one, but seriously - this is SONY! They are known for their style. The TVs, the PS2 and PS3, The computers, etc, Sony has always had leading edge style. This looks plain nasty. It doesn't even look like a nice monitor. From the side, it looks like you can lay it down and have an '80's VCR.
This computer looks absoluetely sweet you have no idea! i would want this so bad! my computer sucks, it's like the first one ever in existence. This reminds me of something...
I found this neat website that actually works. How do I know it works? Well, I read an infinate amount of reviews for it, I actually noticed the secure checkout page, they have a 30 day money back guarentee (which I never used), and I signed up. I got paired off with a small little gaming group, that to be quite honest, I never really heard of. And the games I am playing are very bad (LOL). But I am now on my second week and I'm earning about $45 an hour playing these lousy games. Maybe one day I will step up to become a tester for EA or Ubisoft? Who knows? If anyone is curious about learning more on video game testing, I found this really neat page that some guy put together (Me...LOL) in order to promote being a video game tester. The link is:

That was created by me for people who are curious about this industry. All the links within that article will take you to the main page where you can be well on your way to being a video game tester. Making money is fun, but making money from your couch is even funner... (is that a word?)
Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks!
