Toshiba to create TV with Playstation Power!

Though it still doesnt mean that you get a TV embedded with your favorite console, it does mean that this powerful poster child from Toshiba will be able to record up to six high-definition channels at once and improve the look of any video. Toshiba is using the cell processor, which is what is essentially the brain of the Playstation 3 to power its latest TV / set top box combo.
The LCD panel will cost between 5 and 10 thousand USD when it goes on sale in Japan later this year. Toshiba is entitled to use the cell processor since it was developed in conjunction with Sony and IBM. The Cell TV box will accept video content from cable, memory chips and other sources, raise their apparent resolution, then send the video signal wirelessly to the TV. Toshiba claims that this shall result in the cleanest picture that you will ever see.
