Don't forget about anoother type of low-cost HD DVD player from Shinco, the fact that 300 and Bourne Identity will be included with every HD DVD player you buy and that if you buy STAR TREK Season 1 HD DVD and Toshiba HD DVD player you get a cool Star Trek phaser.

I guess they need to post a $4000 200 disc changer that's not Profile 1.1 and nobody will buy.

C'est la vie.. but don't worry, they'll start reporting more and more once they realize that Blu-Ray is dead-end technology and that the industry and consumers won't wait another 2 years of beta testing the $600-$3500 players and changers.]]>Sep 6th 2007 12:20AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/Sep 6th 2007 12:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/
I have been holding judgment for a while and visiting often to get hi def news because I am a high def junkie, but this site is now sadly the Fox News of the High def world.]]>Sep 6th 2007 12:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/
Seriously, how many Blu-ray owners have that many discs? Furthermore, even if someone had that many, would they even WANT to use this thing? I'm sorry, but Dave and Nfinity are right; this screams "biased" in the worst way. And for the record, if there's one thing I've seen consistently on sites like AVSForum.com, it's actually HD DVD owners who have close to 200 discs. And if they own both formats, they almost always post that they have MORE HD DVDs than Blu-ray discs, usually by a margin of 2:1 (damn that dreaded ratio).

I'm sure neither consumer would be remotely interested in this "media server." Maybe it will be the new monolith in the "2001" remake. You never know...]]>Sep 6th 2007 12:51AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/
I think Sony is shooting themselves in the foot if this winds up being the only Blu-ray mega-changer they offer.]]>Sep 6th 2007 5:51AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/
Paul- Many blu-ray owners would have this many disks as it plays dvd's and cd's.

Ghostdoggy- I have a feeling this will be the media center, as it is meant to stream media through out a house, not just to a TV. I'm pretty sure Sony will make a jukebox only model, they did for dvd and cd's.]]>Sep 6th 2007 1:16PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/09/05/sony-intros-the-hes-v1000-media-server-and-200-disc-blu-ray-play/http://www.betanews.com/article/New_Chinese_Involvement_Could_Trigger_HD_DVD_Price_Plunge/1189196071/1

Most people spend $2500-$3000 for equivalent products. I remember a few years ago, my mom went to Tweeter, where they sold her a ridiculous Harmon-Kardon setup for close to $4k. The speakers were extra, and so was the TV. Now, if I'd gone with her, she wouldn't have spent that much, but there are a lot of people out there willing to spend an extra thousand dollars just to avoid having to set up 6 different pieces, or having to turn the computer on just to listen to their Norah Jones catalog.

As far as the Blue-Ray thing goes, even if you're not a fan of them, who cares? This machine plays DVDs at 1080p and plays all your CDs as well as records them.

For tech wizards and enthusiasts, this may seem like a waste of money, but for the average Joe without time or patience, this thing is perfect.]]>Nov 30th 2007 6:20PM
