    Yeah, I heard about it at work. I'm wondering how much tech support one will be able to get in the store ;)

    My local Microcenter has that one for $2K. Be interesting to see what HD has it for.

    Home Depot getting into the 3D is a big deal in my opinion, this is showing that it is going mainstream. Look for consulting services to be offered (like they do for window or HVAC installation). I am more surprised they did not do this in Atlanta, where the corporate headquarters is 1/4 mile from the "test" store.
