Robotic Looking Colby DVD Player

Posted by Sparky Categories: Portable Audio / Video

Colby has announced the DN-TF-DVD500 DVD player for the Japanese market. This slick unit features a motorized stand with batteries to push the unit up to a good viewing angle. While the translated text seems to indicate that it can only play DVD’s; no DivX or other formats are supported; this still feels like a unique enough form factor that it might make it. The Japanese translation also enlightens us with the following information

The night DVD is rented
During next morning commuting you see
While returning home you see

If there is a last part which remains,
Connecting to the TV at the house, you see

The DVD it goes to the return
In addition amount of the next day is borrowed

First it returns

Is it a strange form of video promotional haiku, or does it have a deeper meaning? When first it returns will you achieve enlightenment? No word on if the DVD500 will ever see American shores, or what it might cost as of yet. Check out the link below for more pictures.
