Wii | "Electric Up and Down Big TV Stand"

thanko1.jpgWii would like to play. *bow* To make it even easier to play, Wii fans can spend 69,800 yen (+-$675) on Japan Thanko's ELECTRIC UP AND DOWN BIG TV STAND (actual translation -- for real!). Of course, not just any ordinary TV stand. It's made for Wii players and essentially acts as a platform that raises a flatscreen TV to eye level for optimum Wii playing.

With this TV stand you can play the Wii sitting down at eye level where you normally prop up your flatscreen...but should you wish to stand up to play Wii then Thanko's Electric Up and Down Big TV stand also comes with a remote control that elevates the screen vertically upwards to standing eye level (up to 130cm). Oh yes, it's heavy duty as well, since it can even hold flatscreens between 40-60 inches and up to 50kg in weight.

Thanko Japan has also produced an office chair (Thanko USB seat chair) that blows cool air from its seat to cool butts during the sticky, humid summers of Japan. Hee.
