Come with me if you want to play movies... in my head.
It can't be bargined with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop, or rewind or fast-forward... ever! Until you are dead.
(Sorry, I just had to do another one. :D)
Blackstar, you are my hero.
I think this is the first time someone posted twice and a row, and didn't get voted down. Good job, and your comments were hilarious.
"QVC? Yeah, I'd like to order item T-101. It's a killing machi...I mean, DVD player, yeah."
...unfortunately, now that my wii plays dvd's, I simply don't need one of these killingmach-VD players
this is awesome.
sorry, but it is..
Then it became governor...
Der Governator FTW!
kewl now all it needs is a T-1000 tv to play it on.
How do we know your TV isn't the T-1000 already?
Because the T-1000 Mimetic Poly-Alloy can't transform into complex machinery.
Nuff said! :P
But yeah, why to get along with Liquid Crystal when you can have Liquid Metal!?
I think it did a successful job of stopping HD-DVD. =D
=C
this is awesome
if I got one, the first thing I would do is see if I could fit a computer in there... put hard drive access light LEDs in the eyes... ventilation would probably be a bitch though.
Some sort of fog machine/simulated steam blowoff ventilation would look amazing in the dark with the red eyes...
Even if it made the innards hotter, still badass.
It could run Asta la Vista. baby.
You spelled 'hasta' wrong.
What's with the white teeth?
I think that's T-1000's "Fire Marshall Bill" impersonation...
What did you want them to be silver? Terminators don't wear grills. Skynet hasn't developed the T-FlavaFlav model... yet.
Watch the movies again you aren't a fan. they have white teeth to make them pass for human at first sight.
Wow, someone has a chapped ass.
It was just a question.
This is actually a prototype of the next Toshiba upscaling DVD player. The finished version will have crossbones and Xs for eyes.
Oh the chrome face and robotic eyes aren't a dead give away, James. Those white teeth are pretty reassuring when I am going over the days events in my head.
looks like tic tac
WELL OZiD. if you had watched the movie you would know they they put skin on them.. SO if they were to talk they wouldnt see metal teeth. pff i hope u've never seen the movies
"What's with the white teeth?"
Well, Arnie clicked the 'I "Hate" my yellow teeth' ad.... and this is the result.
does it play doom?
not so funny...
If you actually bought Doom, the movie, why yes, it does.
This is the funniest engadget headline I've read in a while.
I will assume you are making fun of the jackass who posts this everywhere else.
I would like to throw that DVD player into some molten steel.
Either that or he's so desperate for attention this is his last begging session before he kills himself.
Oh, I shouldn't be getting my hopes up...
Nope... this is he.
T800: "Hey Janelle, what's wrong with Wolfie? I can hear him barking."
T1000: "Wolfie's fine, honey, Wolfie's just fine. Where are you?"
I hated T-1000. Absolutely hated. T-X didn't piss me off, just the 1000. No idea why either.
It's because you have daddy issues. (obviously just a guess, but that IS it.)
wow , thats reaaaaalllyy nice..
so who did this ? where can i buy one ?
where did you find it ??
ANSWER ME !!! I WANT ONE !!! im crazy !!!
Why are the teeth so realistic?
So that if you saw Ahnold in a black leather jacket with dark sunglasses and a sawed-off coming up the street, you wouldn't see creepy robot-lookin' teeth and freak out. (duh)
Cause they're real teeth, obviously.
Wow, that would actually be awesome.
they look more like tic tacs
this article confused the F out of me.
one finger print on the shiny head, and it might as well be returned
No it will bite your fingers right off, then attach itself to its robotic body, then kill you and your family, then call in a legion of terminators from the future, and go on a search for John Connor
I will be back
this looks exactly like something a wife/girlfriend would ban from ever being on display.
Fortunately, most of those who would be buying this don't have that problem to worry about
The real questions are: Is it progressive scan and can it upscale?
Honestly, I would NOT want that thing looking at me every time I sit down to watch a movie. Kinda creepy.
I want one NOW!!!
what they failed to mention is that there are cameras in the eyes
I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.
...sooooo.....a DVD player that watches YOU.
Incidentally, if you insert a DVD of "The Sound Of Music", will it say "GET OWWWT!"?...that would be cool.
How is this totally useless? Is playing DVDs not a use?
um
A company called SideShow sells officially licensed Terminator models, including a T-800 endo head like the one pictured. The SideShow model is made of metal and it's much more detailed than the one pictured. There are some endo heads that were released years ago and are no longer for sale as well as a couple resin models. My guess is that this is a custom job where someone integrated a DVD into one of those resin models. It's well done and, if they are going to be manufactured, I would consider buying one.
Mystery solved:

Onnnly on a Friday would this be "news". ;)
he loves his "yellow" teeth
Why not a Blu-ray version?
Would it be creepy if you look at the back of it and it said "MADE BY SKYNET"
Wow, way to go, Engadget! Just a little bit of p-shoppin' and everyone is now primed for the new Terminator movie. And I actually don't even mind the manipulation because it was subtle and fun. Engadget, ARE you a girl?
I wonder if the remote control is a phased plasma pistol in 50w range?
Any idea how many Biehns this will set me back?
Wow, terminator's got some nice pearlies. I smell a toothpaste commercial nearby.
Sounds someone is preparing a scam..
Imagine if someone says is selling on a fake website.. Imagine how many people wouldnt buy...
....
I agree that the teeth look out of place. even thought it is accurate they should of still made them gold colored like the rest of the head
Does it play Terminator? Or does it just like to impersonate him?
DVD: It'll be back.
manufactured around 2003 to coincide with the upcoming Terminator 3: rise of the machines.
Released by the Japanese company Suntory and limited to only 500 copies (exclusive to Japan, never released internationally), this item is highly collectible and obviously completely sold out by now
