Massachusetts Residents Get A One-Stop-Shop for Furniture And FiOS

Furniture retailer Jordan's soon will be setting up a "Verizon lifestyle store" within its Reading, Massachusetts store, where customers can try out FiOS TV, Internet and phone service at the same time they try out comfy couches for their home theaters. (Press Release)

This concept reminds me a little of the FiOS Lounge we set up at each episode's block party reveal, where revelers could take a break, relax and experience FiOS HDTV. Personally, I'm not a big fan of shopping, so being able to sit on my duff while knocking furniture and home entertainment off my to-do list at once sounds pretty cool. (Of course, you'd still need to stop off at a place like Digital Visions or Bob & Ron's to give your home the full 2.0 treatment, but still....)

Another part of the deal with Jordan's is that Verizon now has naming rights to their IMAX theaters, so I'm going to go on record right now and say it:

I would LOVE to see episodes of My Home 2.0 in IMAX format!

All those high-tech upgrades, writ larger-than-large! The Bat Cave, bigger than a real bat cave! Brian Albert...four stories tall. Hmm...that might be kinda scary, actually. Is it too late to change the record?
