My plan to take over the world (of home entertainment) is one step closer to fruition. Buhahahahaha!!! I present to you the Abigs Multimedia Player (Model DVP-370) by Sarotech.

I paid 280,000 won at Yongsan Electronics Market for the player and a 500-gigabyte hard drive that is installed inside.

What exactly is the Abigs Multimedia Player, you ask? It’s an external hard drive by day and a multimedia center by night. Plug this puppy into your computer and it’s a hard drive. You can save anything onto it, including music, photos, and videos. I, of course, only load videos that I personally have shot. I would never save movies (or music) that have been downloaded from BitTorrent sites such as Mininova or BlueYoyo. That would be illegal. But if you are the immoral type who has no problem with that you could then proceed to disconnect this device from your computer and plug it into your television or home theater system…

and voila! You have a list of every form of media saved on the disk at your fingertips.

The multimedia player comes with its own remote control, so volume, screen size, fast-forward/rewind, captions, and a host of other options can be selected from the comfort of your sofa. Just choose a (home) movie, microwave a bag of popcorn, and enjoy.
