Sounds cool! Not sure I want to try to be more lazy for $130 bucks though. On the other hand, it would be useful when hooking up EQ2 to my 42 1080p :)

Apparently the site to order it from is basically just a hollow shell with no functionality:

The site's been up, but dead, for a while, and no one's manning the phones... certainly sounds like it's still vapourware.

Wow, in the same week we've had the re-emergence of the two most appropriate names in gaming:
Duke Nukem Forever and Phantom....
I'll believe both stories when i see real physical products with my own eyes.
