This DVD player comes with a lot more cool features than what it appears to have.

It also has a projector which can project images, videos and computer date up to 80 wide. The front side panel enables to dock iPod, connect drives via USB and card reader. It can also play games for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii while projecting on the ceiling.

... some nice tower speakers from Energy or Boston Acoustics would sound pretty great, but if you want your home theater to have that authentic Jedi feel to it, it would seem that something more thematic / tacky is in order. - Evan Blass - Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/nikko-to-pair-r2d2-projector-with-tie-fighter-speakers/

The DLP unit can project a 80" image from 16.5 feet away, even rotating it's viewing angle 65 degrees to show the image on the ceiling, for people lazy enough to play Wii while lying down. - Jesus Diaz - Gizmodo http://gizmodo.com/290570/r2+d2-home-theater-gets-upgraded-still-cant-project-hdtv-calculate-hyperspace-jumps

Besides the fact that it's the iconic little droid, the projector's remote is housed in a Millennium Falcon Hyperdrive, adding to the geek cred. - Randall Bennett - Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/video-r2d2-projector-webcam-and-lightsabre-skype-phone/
