Sharp's BD-HD1000: Blu-Ray/DVD/Hard Drive Recorder

[Jason Dunn]

"Arms. Legs. You value yours, don't you? That's why we here at Gizmodo think you should steer clear of Sharp's new $3000+ Blu-Ray recorder. It is the first Blu-Ray recorder to feature an internal 160GB hard drive, but gee whiz. Sure, you get a DVD burner thrown in the unit "for free," but would you really be using 5GB DVDs when you can use 25GB Blu-Ray discs? No, you wouldn't."



Another Japan-only release for now - it will be interesting to see who, and when, Blu-Ray technology gets to other parts of the world.

I'd settle for finding two Blu-Ray products from different vendors that are capable of reading each others' disks... :twisted:

Maybe the next wave...
