it's very expensive, naturally. $4500 approx. but this is a very highend referance model with other features like a sat tuner that wouldnt be in standard Blue-Ray players. price should drop rapidly. I think they will have the first U.S. players by the end of the year. question is, will this be the format for Playstation3 and XBox Next?

Sony has set a release date of April the 10th for the disk recorder "BDZ-S77". With a built-in BS digital tuner it features the blue ray disk with a capacity of 23GB. The price will initially be set at 45 ten thousand Yen. The blue ray disk " BF23G " (for video recording) will be a single sided single layer disk with a capacity of 23GB, the blank media will be released simultaneously for 3,500 Yen.
Video recording blue ray disk " BDZ-S77 "
The BDZ-S77 blue ray disk recorder adopts the large capacity optical disk format "Blu-ray" which was finalised by 9 domestic manufacturers back in February of 2002.
Both the BS digital tuner and ground wave tuner are built in, the BS digital tuner utilizes the MPEG-2 TS standard and sound is recorded using the AAC in DR (direct) mode. The BS digital tuner can record BS digital broadcasts in high resolution (1080i) or at 720p. In addition, BS multiple view (3 programs) recording is also possible.
Record time in DR mode, 1080i, 720p and BS multiple view is approximately 2 hours, 480p approximately 4 hours, 480i approximately 4.4 hours. The maximum transfer rate for 1080i and 720p modes is 24mbps, for 480p 12mbps and for 480i 11mbps.
The ground wave records external analog input in MPEG-2 TS format. The various recoring modse: HR (high picture quality), SR (standard), LR (long time) have record times of approximately 3 hours, approximately 6 hours and 12 hours respectively. The transfer rate in HR miode is 16mbps while 8mbps in SR mode and 4mbps in LR mode.
Record mode and record times
(For ground wave video recording in HR/SR/LR modes) Record mode Record time Transfer rate
DR (direct mode) 1080i Approximately 2 hours 24mbps Max
720p
BS multiple view
480p Approximately 4 hours 12mbps Max
480i Approximately 4.4 hours 11mbps Max
HR (high picture quality mode) Approximately 3 hours 16mbps Max
SR (standard mode) Approximately 6 hours 8mbps Max
LR (long time mode) Approximately 12 hours 4mbps Max
Remote control
The BS is not just a digital recorder, the ground wave is EPG enabled. The ground wave EPG adopts the G guide and employs a ghost reduction circuit. Furthermore, we have implemented the noise reduction Lsi for high resolution recording using FBX which automatically selects the most effective method of DNR, this does not detract from the output quality in any way.
The unit supports the playback of the DVD disks, DVD video, music CDs, CD-R/RW recorded CDs and playback of the VR mode of the DVD-RW, progressive output is also possible.
The recorder implements IEEE 1394 and uses a DV1 system along with S200 (used exclusivly for Blu-ray Discs) and a 2 type loading system. Using the S200 it can also make digital copies. The unit has the following image inputs: 2xS-Video and 2xComposite video connectors. it has the following Image outputs: a D4 connector, 2xS-Video connectors and 2xComposite video connectors. As far as audio goes it has 2xanalog inputs, a coaxial digital output, 1 optical digital output and 1 analog voice response connector.
The unit measures 430×398×135mm (width x depth x height) and weighs approximately 14kg. It consumption 65w. The design is said to give the impression that the unit 'floats'..
