<<Why the hell would I want an interactive/DVD/internet machine for my TV set?>> It's the ultimate couch potatoe toy! Imagine! Never having to go to the movie theater again! You can spend hours replaying your favorite movies and watching them from different camera angles! If you're too lazy to go to the DVD rental store, you can stream movies directly into your DVD entertainment center from the Warner Bothers and Disney Movie Nets (which by the way do not yet exist) via cable modem. They are already doing it in Canada I hear. You can browse the super Internet and gain information about your friends and neighbors. You can communicate with your friends and neighbors with the videophone software (this makes AT&T's three decade dream of a video phone device somewhat obsolete). You can download all kinds of games from Sony. Is it HDTV standard? Those are some of my thoughts. If they can make it for around $200 bucks with a $30 monthly unlimited usage fee, I'd buy it. -Bill_H
