video is no longer available.... :(

Video not available? What did you break now, Danny? :P

Looks like they disabled video embedding - thats lame.
Adding the direct link to the video at YouTube.

It's a new feature that youtube just implemented. They call it the video identification block to prevent copyright material from appearing and spreading on the site.

Was in the news ^^;

Houses? More like mansions!
Nice, I'd gladly live on one of those for the rest of my life. :P

same thing when i've found out that Mitsubishi is also in the banking business amongst other things and the toy giant Bandai is in the female clothing business ^___^

Never knew that. Learning something new everyday ^^.

Wow. I must have that house. That is such an awesome house.

Video works.

I'd love to live in a semi-automatized house like that.

Panasonic is one of my favorite brands in terms of technology since Sony's major reputation loss. I would trust them fully.

Panasonic, Daewoo, Mitsubishi and brands like that have many sectors of various activity, so I'm half surprised here (I'd never have guessed Pana would build and furnish houses).

where can i buy and how much?

Panasonic is like my favorite brand too! :) I have 3 of their cameras - Lumix FZ4, FX01 and FZ50. Danny, you should give their cameras a try, that Leica Opitical Image Stablized lens is quite something!

I wouldn't want to live in that kind of house though... may be it's b'coz I'm getting old or something, but I'm starting to reminiscent the old times (old being late 70's and early 80's, when I was growing up.) I guess if I could redesign that house, I would keep the high tech / environmentally friendly stuff underneath but make the exterior look like authentic traditional Japanese household items and furniture.

あと、トヨタホームとか。

本業以外の所で関連会社をポコポコ作るのは、戦前から続く日本企業の悪い癖だと思う。まぁ財閥とか隣の韓国にも有るみたいだけど。

WoW.. thats like soooooo high tech ... i would love to stay there ..

Wow...lovely house. I like the bathroom the best. Wouldn't mind having one of my own. :D

I'm not at all surprised since in Korea, Samsung/LG make condos (or should i say mansions hehe) with the ever-famous samsung/LG logo printed on the side.

Imagine: you can work for Samsung, have a samsung TV, fridge, laptop, a/c, cell phone, mp3, drive a samsung and live in Samsung condo. Talk about brand loyalty.

A house? hmmm.. This is like a toshiba office building, or a nintendo car to me. I dont know if I could even talk myself into it.

truly awesome.

i absolutely LOVE that entertainment room, i wish putting 2 doors on my room would make it sound proof

OMG!! O.O i'm still shocked!
