Players? Pish!

When HD or BD *recorders* are under $100, *then* (and only then) will it matter in the marketplace.

There is no "killer content" available in either format, but I'd be reall glad to be able to roll 5 to 10 of my existing movies onto a single disk, using the software I already have. It would be great to put all 6 of the Star Wars movies on a single disk without losing any fidelity (and, incidently, without keeping the annoying FBI and Interpol adverts).

So show me a recorder that can handle either of the hi-def disk types, and blank media at no more than $2 a disk, and we can talk.

Until then: Sony and the HD camp can both go piss up a rope.
