Sony Showcase last nite

It was a show case normally reserved for Sony's retail partners, one in which they could get a preview of what Sony would be unvieling in the next 2-6 months. To be able to attend, you had to be registered with MySony, and you had to send back your RSVP.

It was a good presentation, they had this little play of sorts (around 15 minutes), which had a hacker sort of feel to it (by hacker I mean, in this instance, illegally obtaining data and transferring it) in which they showed some of the showpieces of the evening ie. The Grand Wega 3LCD-DLP 60" TV *drooool* :-) the quality and depth of detail that the new TVs were capable of displaying were jaw-droppingly good... but to take advantage of the full capabilities of the TVs, you'd need to be playing off of a Blu-ray player *sigh*

And the new cameras!!! Bloody hell!!! Less than a centimetre thick, and about the size of a credit card at 5MP!!! Sunovab1tch!!!

Had all these fancy tidbits to munch on, and the grog flowed freely :-) not a bad night at all :-)

Oh, and the topic of conversation for henson and myself while we waited for the draw to win the 23" LCD TV? :-) Eurocentric - I brought this topic up 'cos in a rather amazing coincidence (or maybe it was the buzz word of the week for when they taped the shows - that's if they were filmed at the same time of course, but I digress)...

The topic came up 'cos 2 shows ("Dharma & Greg" and "2 guys, a girl and a pizza shop") use it... True I'm sure they use the same common words, but this word is fairly uncommon, hence why it caught my attention...

I still think I should have won the LCD screen. The old lady who won looked like a millionaire who can afford such things.
