yeah, but didn't toshiba develop the cell with sony? also, doesn't toshiba own the cell outright now? therefore, it's toshiba power that is helping the PS3. irony of ironies, toshiba may've been responsible for the PS3's success!

Interstingly enough it might be worth a try. Think about how much SD content there is on TV. The TV should do very well.

The new picture upscaling is based on Toshiba’s ‘Spurs Engine’, which integrates the Cell processor with its TVs, due to which it can pump-out pictures in a much quicker way further, as it is a software chip, it can be improved with the timely updates from the company.

All it needs now is an intergrated Blu-ray drive, HDD, and Bluetooth and we'll have Playstation Television. It would be nice if SONY droppes another upconversion update based on simular technology. I really would like to see one of these TVs hooked up to a new Tosh upconverter.
