      Again, it took me about 20 seconds to type:

      site:slashdot.org hitachi (dvd or dvr)

      into google and the first hit was the duplicate article.

      There is no excuse to keep doing this shit!

      I'm glad that over 99% of the reason I come to slashdot is because of people like me and not the "editors". I wish it was easy to simply migrate the community to another site, but that is much easier said than done.

  2. Not only is the story a dupe... by rindeee · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...but many people will have to reply in "dupe" pointing out that it is NOT a "Terabyte DVD recorder". It is a terabyte DVR with a normal DVD recorder built in to the case.

    It's like someone recorded the article, and is playing it back for us to flame a second time!

    The terabyte version is not $1180; it is nearly double that.

    From TFA:

    The recorders will go on sale in Japan from next month. They are expected to retail from about 130,000 yen ($1,180) for the cheapest model to 230,000 yen for the one-terabyte recorder, which stores data on two 500 gigabyte hard disk drives.

    You can store the first Slashdot story on the first drive, and the second Slashdot story on the second drive.

  6. I'll speak on behalf of Tivo by Manchot · · Score: 4, Informative

    Tivo's a brand name. This device is made by Hitachi, so it's not a Tivo. Hence, you should just call it an oversized DVR.

  8. Terabyte TiVo exists by Nonesuch · · Score: 3, Interesting
    TiVo originally charged around $1K for a 250GB HD DVR, so the price is right.

    netdude built a 1.6TB (usable) TiVo unit, but doesn't say what it cost.
