And guess what came in today? It looks nice, really nice, very much like 
the PS3, and it's completely useless without a screen.

Incidentally, whilst browsing through the amazing amount of junk on my 
computer (via the BD-player, via wi-fi, which works well enough), one of 
the first things I came along was "a concept film by Martin Naef". 
Right... and, by the way, it looked absolutely stunning on our TV, even 
though it's really not that sophisticated. (TN screen, for example.)
