Hitachi Wooo10000 series of 60 and 50-inch plasmas

In a fit of marketing orb-asm, Hitachi just went big in Japan with their Wooo 10000 series of plasma displays with HDMI. The top of the line W60P-XR10000 brings a new 60-inch 1080i ALIS panel rockin' a 1920×1080 pixel resolution, dual-digital and terrestrial analog TV-tuners, and 250GB of disk for hosting MPEG-2 recordings dumped from the integrated DVR. The W50P-HR10000 and W50P-H10000 both bring 50-inch panels capable of a 1280x1080 resolution with the HR packin' that dual-digital/analog tuner, DVR, and 250GB hard drive, while the H skips the DVR altogether while paring back the tuner to a single digital/analog hybrid. Price/availability breaks down like this: W60P-XR10000 in late December for an expected ¥950,000 (about $8,160), W50P-HR10000 in mid November for ¥550,000 (about $4,723), and the W50P-H10000 in late November for approximately ¥500,000 (about $4,295).

So, if we plug in a Nintendo Wii to one of these, we would get a Wooo Wii experience. :)

CEO Bubb Rubb of Hitatchi says Woooooo Woooooo

w00t was trademarked?

[mcfeely @ Sep 26th 2006 9:22AM]

When will Audi's lawyers come calling?

[Rick Lyon @ Sep 26th 2006 9:54AM]

haha, I was going to comment on Audi designing their logo, seems others beat me to it.

[Neil @ Sep 26th 2006 10:01AM]

Could Audi file suit against Hitachi? The Audi logo has 4 rings while the Wooo only has 3 rings.

[tekdemon @ Sep 26th 2006 11:39AM]

Heh, while it does bear more than a passing resemblence to the audi logo, I doubt anybody can sue anybody else for using a ring logo...

Or the Olympics would totally win lol.

Hmm come to think of it, I should just set up a few shell companies with 5 ring, 6 ring, 8 ring, 2 ring and 3 ring designs then sue anybody who uses any of those lol.

So the Wii is finally making some sense.. at least.. to me.

[attackslug @ Sep 26th 2006 10:42AM]

hey, the perfect tv for Ric Flair

[gregger @ Sep 26th 2006 11:30AM]

Is anyone going to connect their Wii to their Wooo?

That'd be awesome...

Audi TV's? that sure is an interesting way to try and steal some brand equity

[DaWolfey @ Sep 26th 2006 2:29PM]

I can see the headline now:
"We go 'waaaa!' because the Wii doesn't work on the Wooo"

[ManekiNeko @ Sep 26th 2006 3:11PM]

That's just air escaping from the folds of Hitachi's fat!

I just want to attach a whistle tip to my car's muffler for some odd reason. Will Bubb Rubb be their spokesperson?
