Terminator head DVD player returns from the future to stop itself from playing a DVD of 'The Terminator'

Color us stumped and incredibly excited. We've discovered this totally useless yet endlessly amazing DVD player / Terminator head out in the wilds of the internet, but finding any information deeper than people exclaiming "this is awesome" is, in a word, difficult. Look, we're not saying that we want to find the company that makes these, order 100 of them, rip out their guts and replace them with those electronic rat brains, swap the eyes for stereoscopic cameras, tack on Darth Vader-esque voice boxes, and then mount them to the unkillable bodies of an army of robotic warriors we've been building, but... uh, well... okay you got us.

[Blackstar @ Aug 15th 2008 5:47PM]

Come with me if you want to play movies... in my head.

[Blackstar @ Aug 15th 2008 11:44PM]

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)

[Jason @ Aug 16th 2008 2:55AM]

Blackstar, you are my hero.

[Charlie Calhoun @ Aug 16th 2008 5:46AM]

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.

[dvsbstrd @ Aug 15th 2008 5:32PM]

"QVC? Yeah, I'd like to order item T-101. It's a killing machi...I mean, DVD player, yeah."

[OnlyShawn @ Aug 16th 2008 2:57AM]

...unfortunately, now that my wii plays dvd's, I simply don't need one of these killingmach-VD players

[MrGam3r @ Aug 15th 2008 5:32PM]

this is awesome.

sorry, but it is..

[who? @ Aug 15th 2008 5:33PM]

Then it became governor...

[Fubar @ Aug 16th 2008 12:16AM]

Der Governator FTW!

[Adam @ Aug 15th 2008 5:36PM]

kewl now all it needs is a T-1000 tv to play it on.

[Paul @ Aug 15th 2008 7:00PM]

How do we know your TV isn't the T-1000 already?

[boolean22 @ Aug 15th 2008 9:43PM]

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!?

[Totalfixation @ Aug 15th 2008 5:33PM]

I think it did a successful job of stopping HD-DVD. =D

[CubeGuy @ Aug 15th 2008 5:59PM]

=C

[TMFAN @ Aug 15th 2008 5:33PM]

this is awesome

[John @ Aug 15th 2008 5:34PM]

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.

[Jabber @ Aug 15th 2008 5:51PM]

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.

[joe blow @ Aug 15th 2008 11:35PM]

It could run Asta la Vista. baby.

[ethana2 @ Aug 16th 2008 12:21AM]

You spelled 'hasta' wrong.

[Freakin Ijit @ Aug 15th 2008 5:40PM]

What's with the white teeth?

[Jeff @ Aug 15th 2008 5:59PM]

I think that's T-1000's "Fire Marshall Bill" impersonation...

[James @ Aug 15th 2008 7:28PM]

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.

[dvsbstrd @ Aug 15th 2008 7:58PM]

Wow, someone has a chapped ass.

It was just a question.

[konshuss @ Aug 18th 2008 9:14AM]

This is actually a prototype of the next Toshiba upscaling DVD player. The finished version will have crossbones and Xs for eyes.

[OziD @ Aug 15th 2008 8:17PM]

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.

[SNP @ Aug 15th 2008 11:38PM]

looks like tic tac

[Ian @ Aug 15th 2008 11:47PM]

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

[JohnnyBoy @ Aug 16th 2008 5:20AM]

"What's with the white teeth?"

Well, Arnie clicked the 'I "Hate" my yellow teeth' ad.... and this is the result.

[Sofunnytom @ Aug 15th 2008 5:45PM]

does it play doom?

[CraigJ @ Aug 15th 2008 7:30PM]

not so funny...

[John @ Aug 15th 2008 9:06PM]

If you actually bought Doom, the movie, why yes, it does.

[Funke, Tobias Dr. @ Aug 15th 2008 5:47PM]

This is the funniest engadget headline I've read in a while.

[d @ Aug 15th 2008 5:50PM]

I will assume you are making fun of the jackass who posts this everywhere else.

[Rainier @ Aug 15th 2008 5:52PM]

I would like to throw that DVD player into some molten steel.

[Ignatius @ Aug 15th 2008 5:55PM]

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...

[Jeremy K. @ Aug 15th 2008 5:56PM]

Nope... this is he.

[Roger @ Aug 15th 2008 5:58PM]

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?"

[Arjun @ Aug 15th 2008 6:27PM]

I hated T-1000. Absolutely hated. T-X didn't piss me off, just the 1000. No idea why either.

[Jason @ Aug 16th 2008 2:52AM]

It's because you have daddy issues. (obviously just a guess, but that IS it.)

[Rafael @ Aug 15th 2008 5:59PM]

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 !!!

[Alex @ Aug 15th 2008 6:00PM]

Why are the teeth so realistic?

[Jason @ Aug 15th 2008 6:59PM]

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)

[Amz @ Aug 15th 2008 10:03PM]

Cause they're real teeth, obviously.

[ethana2 @ Aug 16th 2008 12:27AM]

Wow, that would actually be awesome.

[Russ @ Aug 16th 2008 12:33AM]

they look more like tic tacs

[dale_nx26 @ Aug 15th 2008 6:28PM]

this article confused the F out of me.

[Ross @ Aug 15th 2008 7:27PM]

one finger print on the shiny head, and it might as well be returned

[Mobius_1 @ Aug 15th 2008 10:07PM]

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
