[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s40yTW7A0HQ&feature=player_embedded]YouTube - Philips Lumalive t-shirt[/ame]

The awesomely-named Domenico Panacea spent €900 euros (about $1,300) to rent a Philips Lumalive shirt for a month.

The shirt has 128MB of memory, and battery life is 4 hours. It's difficult to imagine anything that doesn't have, you know, rooms in it renting for $1,300 a month, but there you go...

Wow thats the craziest thing i have ever seen or heard of

**ZipZapp** · 09-17-2009, 12:07 PM

That's not an LED shirt.

Thats a shirt over some sort of led box.

**kaaroFC** · 09-17-2009, 12:14 PM

**one1** · 09-17-2009, 12:27 PM

**Melech518** · 09-17-2009, 12:39 PM

**robbpell** · 09-17-2009, 12:40 PM

**babyblue_pimp** · 09-17-2009, 01:00 PM

you pay 1,300 bucks, and they get the shirt back after a month?! now thats a solid business lol

Honestly this has to be the gayest thing I've ever seen, if he has trouble spending his parents money he should give some to me. I'll take a 32gb 3GS and a 50" flat screen!

Wow, someone shooting off at the mouth who hasn't done a lick of research. Again. Not surprising though. This technology literally *is* an "LED shirt" due to the light-emitting diodes integrated into the textile itself. Here's another video that explains it all a little more thoroughly.

Moral of the story: Don't hate on technology you don't understand simply because you *think* you understand it.

Totally pointless....

**badass1469** · 09-17-2009, 01:34 PM

only a super duper dork would pay to wear it, especially so much for so little time.

i wouldnt pay that much for the shirt even if i could keep it

**86FeiroGT** · 09-17-2009, 02:19 PM

I mean that's really cool and all but... $1300 for a shirt that you can only keep it one month? Fail my friends fail.

**Luppin** · 09-17-2009, 02:34 PM

Pardon me if I'm missing something, but other than that man being a fan of Apple, what does this story have to do with Apple/the iPhone....

**e10100** · 09-17-2009, 02:47 PM

That is absolutely sick!!!

**Melech518** · 09-17-2009, 03:12 PM

What happens when it comes time to wash the shirt??? No one thought of that did they! Ha

**se23** · 09-17-2009, 03:47 PM

Beeryce

the shirt in the original post is not the same as the Phillips. The guy in the op is cheap as his shirt

**GregTheWang** · 09-17-2009, 03:52 PM

I would play pixel porn in public all day long

**Risingstar** · 09-17-2009, 03:54 PM
