Nothing out of the ordinary there, but the stand might appeal to a few retro holdout fans of the rat.
The MPE-200 multimedia processor goes on sale next week for an actually quite reasonable ¥2,625,000 ($30,000), considering what it offers. Bet James Cameron paid a bit more than that for his.
That linked press release below is in Japanese, but click here for a rough and ready MT if you're feeling lazy - it covers the basics at least.
And if I was still a 'proper' journalist working for The Man, I'd be required to mention here that the MPE-200 uses the same Cell Broadband Engine processor as found in the PlayStation 3, possibly putting (PS3) in brackets too just to clarify for the hard of thinking, but I've packed that in for the PR life of Riley, so I won't bother. You can work it out for yourselves, right? :-)

It happened yesterday, apparently, and featured acts like Azu, Scandal and One Draft. I bet they looked marvelous in 3D...
We take your product and make it a hit in Japan or out - simple really!
Now, give it some clicky to get with the program...
