Kiss releases LED HDTV, because it's criminal to view Paul's Starchild makeup any other way

Quote:

Legendary rockers are releasing officially-licensed LED HDTVs, available in 55-, 46-, 42-, and 32-inch (aka "Mini Kiss," to no one else but the Engadget staff) variants, priced between $818.88 and $1,988.88 (and unless we're mistaken by the wording, buying the 55-inch model also nets you a 32-incher) and on sale now online / in-store mid-November. Each set has the Kiss logo emblazoned on each bottom corner, and you'll be rocked -- nay, rawked -- by eight seconds of the band's imagery every time you turn it on. The TVs are produced by Roundtable Concepts and specs include... wait, you've already made up your mind, haven't you? Well, alright, then, our job here is done. One more picture after the break.

I wouldn't hate it as much if it didn't have the KISS logos and the KISS imagry when it starts-up (that way it would fit-in in a military or post apocaliptic themed living room). To me this is on the same level as Hello Kitty branded TVs. Then again to each their own I guess...

**edit**

oh please tell me that metal effect pattern isn't just printed on...

I guess it's awesome if you're a KISS fan, personally, it's something i wouldn't buy.

Then again, im not to big on HDTV themes. (like that shitty Street Fighter IV themed TV...ehhh.)
