we are at the point where that question is irrelevant now. Just as it was when color TVs became affordable and widespread.

The question now should be is there any reason for making any television, at any size, not HD capable?]]>Mar 15th 2010 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/Mar 15th 2010 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/More than likely built in, or slotted in and removable like Sharp did a few years ago.

Here in Japan most people dont feel the need for a giant tv or dont have the space so they opt for a small HD tv. Remember its Japan not the US. I have a 32" Bravia and it is plenty big enough.
Also Re: Price, Expect at least double the US price for the model here. Shits expensive.]]>Mar 15th 2010 12:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/
It's an internal hard drive that can store up to 65 hours of HD content. ]]>Mar 15th 2010 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/Mar 15th 2010 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/Just because a hard drive can record 65 hours of video says nothing about how that that recording happens. If you are implying that the TV has bundled DVR software, that's a significant feature which is usually highlighted.]]>Mar 15th 2010 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/Newer sony TVs use a similar GUI to the PS3. Mine has a function to watch video/view pics off of SD cards. So yeah, I am pretty sure its going to have soft to record shows. Its SONY! Do you really think they could get away with mickymouseing a set like this?]]>Mar 15th 2010 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/Mar 15th 2010 1:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/For fuck's sake, I read the damn article before you even mentioned it, but all it says is "An internal 500GB hard drive, recording about 65 hours up to high-definition programming", which doesn't mean jack shit. When HDD manufacturers release hard drives, they also spit out pointless specs such as this, but it doesn't mean that they have on-board software to actually do any recording or playback.]]>Mar 15th 2010 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/even for japanese homes, you can still attache a nettop on the back of your tv, cant you?]]>Mar 15th 2010 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/Mar 15th 2010 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/

I guess its the confusion between whether decalfx actually meant damn asians as opposed to damn, asians, etc.

If its the prior, then I can see why the comment may be viewed as offensive.]]>Mar 15th 2010 1:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/Mar 15th 2010 1:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/Mar 15th 2010 2:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/14/sony-japan-unveils-bravia-hdtvs-with-500gb-storage-sony-usa-unv/
How about a 2mm thick TV with built in iPad, iPhone and a toilet that washes your ass for you. Would that make all of you happy?
