So, by "today" I guess they meant "at some point in the nebulous future."
Just signed on expecting to see some interesting stuff... and nothing. No updates, no new content, nothing.
Is there a similar product available for purchase in the U.S.? The "AV Control Center 245C" looks like exactly what I need myself, but nobody seems to carry it Stateside.
On a tangentially related note, GamePro.com ran story about one of their writer's experiences waiting outside Toys R Us in upstate NY for an evening in the freezing cold. Might be of interest if you liked this article.

I would argue that some do. For instance, I think there is a lot of... well, I don't really want to call it subtext, since I think a lot of it is pretty much right there on eht surface... in the Deus Ex games. The first one in had tons of thought-provoking quotes in books and such. More substantially, both the first and second games offer a fair amount of social commentary related to globalization (the WTO), terrorism (the Templars), and religious fanaticism (the Order).
Sure, the more visceral games aren't doing much commentary, I suppose... but a lot of games are, they just largely either go unnoticed in that regard, or fly right over the audience's head.
