Where technology and culture collide

Sony is working on a ginormous, $2,000 Blu-ray player/changer that holds 400 discs. Overkill? Over-priced? Or where-can-I-get-one?

Anonymous said...: $2,000 is about $1,500 too much. I have a Sony 400-disc DVD changer that cost me $300. I'll grant that Blu-Ray is advanced technology, so I'll give them another $200 for it, but that's all. Otherwise, the guts (chassis, carousel, etc.) of this changer is exactly the same.; Friday, May 22, 2009 1:00:00 AM

Aaron P said...: 50GB (given full disc rip) x 400 = 20TB
1TB caviar black x 20 = 20TB
1TB caviar black = $95 (newegg)

$1900

this is completely stupid on sony's part. like anon 1 said RIPOFF.; Wednesday, May 27, 2009 3:03:00 PM
