I found this on GoNintendo and didn't see it posted here, so I though I would share it with everyone.

Would you buy one of these? I would. My GameCube would look great with it.

Also notice the missing power supply for that Famicom in the picture. Classic marketing.

EDIT: I forgot to mention these TVs are only available in Korea for now and run about 215 USD a pop.

That's a classy cathode, but I'll stick with LCD. Larger screen, smaller footprint, less power.
