Blu Ray Recorders in Japan By Xmas
Sony and Matsushita have announced at Japan's CEATEC show that they will have Blu Ray recorders for the consumer in the shops in Japan by Xmas this year. The models will ship with large hard drives (up to 500 GB) but will be pricey at around £1500 at the top end.
The Panasonic branded models will have a smaller hard drive, around 200GB, but at a similar price.
Both companies have said that they have no plans to ship these recorders to the US or Europe in the short term but will concentrate on the player-only options for now.
Toshiba also showed their HD DVD model that was more expensive maybe because of its near one terabyte of storage.
The keeping of HD content in your library is the one big flaw in the whole HD revolution. Because of HDCP rights protection and the fear of piracy we will have to wait for these recorders to start building an HDTV library.
Will Sky brand their own Blu Ray recorder nearer the time?
