Sony launches four high-end Blu-ray recorders

It may be raining on AT&T's parade today but the sun is out and blasting Japan with plenty of Blu-ray. Four new Sony Bravia recorders in fact, capable of burning 50GB dual-layer, BD-R/RE discs with an additional disk packing between 250GB and 500GB of storage depending upon model selected. The ¥200,000 (about $1,755) top-end BDZ-X90 model brings 2x digital and 2x analog tuners, gold-plated HDMI 1080p capable of 60fps or 24fps output in DeepColor, and a DLNA-based "Sony Room Link" server function for streaming your media around the house. All use MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 encoding with support for lossless TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio and hi-definition bitstream output. Hell, they even include support for attached AVCHD camcorders. Damn. On sale in Japan November 8th.

Is there any SONY news that you don't cover?

Seriously, atleast PRETEND to give other companies a fair shake. Pretend. Don't make your SONY tit sucking so obvious.

Maybe because Sony is bigger than Microsoft? Wouldn't you keep an eye on the big tech companies? Or just discount them because you hate them?

"High-end Blu-ray": Now there's a redundancy.

@Nfinity

If it is that boring to you, then why do you post in the topic?

You're incredible bias against Blu-Ray is incredibly annoying and I wish you would start trolling somewhere else.

@AG23
i actually like nfinity around, thought i'm not a fan of his unwavering bias...it does give me something interesting to argue against. it'd be boring engadget/engadgethd w/out him.
@kenzo
have you ever thought about how big of a company sony is, and how many products they've announced/released over the last 2 months. stop sipping your haterade

This won't be released in the US anytime soon due to the fact that these don't have cablecard support.

Another burning product...now if we could just have a sticker that reads "warning: burns only last about 3-5 years." on the side I would be happy. But its another bullet in the war.

Still would rather have it in a computer. Who needs to burn Blu-Rays anyway?

@shawnmos
DCR TVs and Cable card in general will be gone in the next couple years anyway, so get used to it!
