New DVD Recorder With 52 hours Of HDD Recording Time

Posted by timothy on from the technology-has-its-upside dept.

BlueQuark writes "I thought that this is cool. Everybody needs one. When I was liviving in Tokyo about a year and a half ago, Pioneer just released a DVD Recorder, which was quite nice. Now it looks like Panasonic will have one that does 52 hours. It's about 200,000 yen or about $1709.00 @ 117.76Tokyo's Y/$ rate. The blurb is a bit short, but can be found here. Or here is a more complete press release which is at Matsushita's site."

    YES, I'm friends with Britney Spears


    Is that a CD-R she's holding in one of the pictures? It sure looks like one. I find it extremely ironic, if so. Then again, it may be an on-topic pirated DVD :-)

    Check out the TiVo Hack FAQ for all the info you need. The drive upgrade is so easy, even a Windows user can do it.

    If you're friends with her, how come you're not in any of the pictures with her?

    Man I think I'm going to move to Tokyo. Just so I can tell people back home, "Yup, I'm pullin' down a cool 6,000,000 Yen a year.".

    What? You don't think she should be able to listen to CD-R recordings of her own songs? I'm sure that's what she's listening to.

    By the way these are paparazzi pics from Britney's trip to Australia. These are on Bondi beach, not some So-Cal beach.
