Anyone can now have an IMAX at home... for just $400k


There's a common feeling among anyone leaving an IMAX for the first time - the feeling that "I'd love to have one of these at home!" Well, now you can, as long as you can pay $400k for it.

Sony GTR-DG920

And now that you can finally start buying HD movies without worrying about the format war, how about upgrading/updating your old AV amp?

For that matter, Sony will be launching their GTR-DG920 in June with a nice feature list - particularly considering it's price: $600.
  • 7.1channels
  • 1080p + 60/24Hz
  • 4x HDMI
  • Dolby Digital Plus
  • Dolby True HD
  • DTS High Resolution Audio
  • DTS HD Master Audio
  • xvyCC
  • Deep Color Sony's Digital Media Port
  • XM Connect-and-Play ready (5.1)
  • Auto-Setup in 20-30 seconds
Though I would still prefer a Denon or Onkyo, it's nice to see Sony improving their products at competitive prices.

Entertainer - Linux Media Center

If you're considering assembling your own HTPC (Home Theater PC) but don't want to use Windows Media Center Editions, you'll love Entertainer. This project is a complete multimedia solution for Gnome and XFce environments written in Python. For its multimedia functions it uses the well known GStreamer and its interface is coded using Clutter, allowing smooth UI animations via OpenGL. Entertainer also uses some other interesting projects like SQLite, pyIMDBb and iNotify .

If you're interested in supporting the project than head to Entertainer and drop them an email.

After recently having discovered LinuxMCE, the Media Center solutions for linux are looking better than ever.

Here's a short YouTube video showing how nice its interface looks and behaves:
