Samsung UA55C9000 3D LCD TV
At $10,000, the Samsung UA55C9000 costs more than twice what an otherwise similarly specified, similarly sized, Samsung TV would sell for. So what’s so special about it? We reckon that several of the more extraordinary features justify that price.

PlayStation 3 - what's in store for 2009?
Tags: Blu-ray player, games console, media centre, PlayStation 3, PS3, Sony, videogame
Sony's PlayStation has changed a lot over the years and 2008/2009 is set to see a number of hardware and software innovations to the popular gaming console.
The recently released 80GB PlayStation3 doubles previous storage capacity, and with the a wireless keypad that fits into the top of the Dual Shock 3 controller, PS3 users can now use a a QWERTY keyboard instead of the system's onscreen one.
Play TV has also been promised early next year. Equipped with dual tuners, this add-on module will allow you watch and record high definition digital TV broadcasts via your PS3 (though 80GB won't store a heck of a lot of HD video, so get yourself some outboard storage), record a whole series at the touch of a button or watch a program on the go via Remote Play on the PlayStation Portable (PSP).
Speaking of which, the PSP-3000 (the latest iteration of Playstation's little take-anywhere gamer) has received an upgrade in the form of a higher resolution LCD screen and a built-in microphone.
On the software front, EyePet will please many a parent as this title, used in conjunction with the PlayStation Eye camera, creates a responsive virtual pet (which looks a bit monkey-like) that follows your every move.
