Now the portable music/video player war.. that another thing.]]>Apr 8th 2008 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/Flash memory has reached a point where we can get 2GB on the cheap. That means that the UMD FORMAT can be phased out for games as well as movies.

What I want to see is the PSP adopt a hard disk / SSD drive so it can accept full version game downloads. It only makes sense simply because if you can do digital media downloads, you aren't burdened by wasting money putting UMD disks on store shelves.

While they are at it, they can add a second analog stick - maybe even a force feedback motor where the UMD space USED TO BE.]]>Apr 8th 2008 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/
Also, force feedback on a battery-constrained handheld is pretty much the worst idea ever.]]>Apr 8th 2008 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/
You're just further proving his point that the UMD drive is a waste of space. Force feedback could be optional for times when you are able to play while you are plugged into a power source.]]>Apr 8th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/

The PS3 will do the same thing for my PSP! 499$

I doubt Apple would come out with a DVR-like device that records TV (although it is a possibility), but even if they did, it would most certainly sync wirelessly with your computer automatically, which this Sony does not (as far as I know). And it would be "no touch" syncing. But kudos to Sony for getting this kind of functionality out there.]]>Apr 8th 2008 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/Apr 8th 2008 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/
and more moving parts, come on,
that's exactly what we don't want.

The HD in my old Creative jukebox was the first thing to go.

I think the studios should agree on one "format recopy". I don't think it would reduce sales, but might actually increase them (I haven't bought a DVD in a long time, but might reconsider w/ something like this).]]>Apr 8th 2008 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/Apr 8th 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/Apr 8th 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/08/sonys-bdz-a70-blu-ray-recorder-with-1-touch-transfer-to-walkman/Apr 8th 2008 3:01PM
