eBay and it will be a japanese model and its expensive. Sony has said Blu Ray recording for the US is a long way off because they don't see a market for it. Your best bet is to get a PC setup and stick a Blu Ray burner in it and record content to it in this fashion. It beats waiting years for Sony to do something in the US.

Wow.

Trust me, you wouldn't want one right now anyway. Even if they were available in the U.S. which they're not, they would cost over $2000.

mrb713 · 08-23-2007, 01:33 PM

Yikes !

They would probably only record on single layer BD as well. Not the DL-BD.

I love the BDZ-V9... a bit out of my budget, but still.

Currently they are around 700.00, a bit high considering the blank media is the same cost as the studio released blu-rays. No cost advantage to copying yet.

We're talking about stand-alone recorders, not PC BD burners. So, with that in mind, they aren't available, yet. Only in Japan, where the cheapest one I think is about $2500.

They have to be out! I saw one in Casino Royale when Bond was in that hotel security office! Seriously, did anyone else see it? I don't recall a post about it.

It's a Sony financed movie with hidden advertisements all over the place. And remember the movie came out way before the BDP-S1 was even launched.

By the way, I'm pretty sure it was BDP-S1 and not a recorder as you think.

Lots of BD recorders in japan, but that's based on japanese standard. In US, there's ATSC, that doesn't have enough programming to warrant this kind of investment.

After that, the best bet is OCAP, (Open Cable) which needs the cable provider to provide a card, and also needs bidirectional DOCSIS connection. This whole development is complex.

Other than that, there's the satellite providers, but those things are even less standardized.

US HD broadcast scene is much more complex than Japan, which seems to be all ISDB-T and europe which appears to be coalescing around DVB-T.

The internal ones for pcs probably aren't too far out and should be far less expensive than the standalones.
