    She will be mine. Oh yes, she will be mine.

    This multi-media bed that is. This thing is everything a slacker needs to sit in bed and just put on the big game or whatever you happen to stumble upon.

    Check out what this thing comes with:

    • A retractable 32-inch Sony Bravia HDTV in its footboard
    • A five-disc DVD/CD changer
    • An iPod docking station
    • Five-speaker surround sound
    • A subwoofer underneath
    • A computer-controlled massage mattress

    What’s the price tag on this baby you ask? Just a modest $35,000.

    Junior doesn’t need his college fund nearly as much as you need R&R so go ahead and splurge.

    If you’re into saving space and want something different for your living room, then maybe you should check out this little nifty idea from Italian designer Matteo Ragni.

    This Fly Shelf with Integrated Projection Screen is a great space saver, and if you have a good place for a projector set up, then you can have your own personal theater. Set this up alongside similar shelves, retract the screen, and people will never know you have a 66″ TV hiding in there.

    R2-D2 Home Theater System

    If you thought the DeLorean making a comeback was cool, then you have to check this out.R2D2 Home Theater

    Hammacher Schlemmer has come out with the R2-D2 home theater system. Yes, you read that right. The life size R2-D2 from Star Wars projecting your movies from his radar eye.

    The little droid can shoot out movies, TV shows, images and video games straight onto a screen at a resolution of 1024 x 768 and can project up to 16 1/2 feet away.

    In addition, one of his mechanical arms houses a DVD/CD player that can be blasted out from its two built-in speakers. And also this R2 has a docking station that can connect to most iPods, including video iPods.

    But all great things come with a price, with this little droid running for $2,7995.99.

    If you do pick up one of these, you can get really creative.

    For instance, you can take him out into your garage, dressed in last year’s Luke Skywalker halloween costume to give him a little tune-up. Act like you’re repairing it when all of a sudden, BAM! Princess Lea pops up on your screen saying “help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.”

    Make sure you hit it or something every few seconds so you get the repeat effect.

    Panasonic PT-AX100U projector

    If you’ve been thinking about setting up your own backyard theater to watch movies in this summer, now is the perfect time to pick up the projector. Panasonic is offering a $400 cash rebate on one of their latest and greatest projectors, the PT-AX100U.

    Released in fall of 2006, the PT-AX100U got great reviews from home cinema buffs and CNET readers alike. It projects an HD image of over 14.5 feet wide and has 2,000-lumen brightness, making it one of the brightest projectors on the market. Plus, Panasonic hired Hollywood film colorists and directors of photography to help develop their color filters, so the images are rich and lush with color. If you’re ready to upgrade from your LCD TV to an LCD projector, you should really check out the PT-AX100U before June 30th and save.
