Toshiba releases HD-DVD recorder with built in HDD

12 June 2007 19:16 by Dave "Davedough" Horvath | 3 comments

In the constant struggle for who will emerge on top of the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray battle, Toshiba unleashes a new pair of devices that should surely get Sony thinking of its next strategy.

The Vardia RD-A600 and RD-A300 feature not only an HD-DVD recorder but either a 600Gb or 300Gb hard drive, respectively. The hard drives themselves are all that separate the two units from one another. That, and about $200 in the final price tag. Armed with a pair of digital hi-vision HD tuners, Firewire, and HDMI these dynamic duos weigh in at a lofty �200,000 (about $1,643). I'd start making your holiday gift lists early.

$1650 (approx)? �825? It's expensive but that's not as madly expensive as SD DVD recorders (never mind with a HDD included) were initially. Not a bad starting point for a high-end device, it'll be less than half that in under a year if their other HD DVD products are anything to go by. If only we could get it here in the UK at those kinds of prices. [ + quote]

Need to start releasing burner for the PC (I know they have some for the labtops). Those will be about 200 bucks and my NEC DVD Burner is slowly dying. [ + quote]
