The RD-X5, Toshiba's 1,071-hour digital video recorder

We still have a 14-hour TiVo kicking around here somewhere, which is why we were almost ashamed to discover the RD-X5, Toshiba's new DVD recorder with a 600GB hard drive that just came out in Japan that can store up to 1,071 hours of television. Or just to break that down for you, you could record TV shows 24 hours a day for over a month and still a few hundred hours of recording time left over. We'd mumble something about overkill, but we're sure that the switchover to HDTV will kill any notion that you can ever possibly have too much storage space on your digital video recorder.
