Blu-ray recorders have been on the scene for a while now, but now that the format war's over, it looks like more companies are starting to commit to BD-R devices -- like Pioneer, which announced today that it'll have a Blu-ray recorder out in Japan by the end of the year. The company didn't say what model it would be or what price point it was aiming for, but the tech is being jointly developed with Sharp, so hopefully it's have a family resemblance to units like the 1TB
AQUOS BD-HDW20 in everything but the $2,611 pricetag.

Ok, so what does it record?
An hi-def recorder - something that at least takes component plus SPDIF, though HDMI would be good for those video streams that aren't crippled - would be one of the few reasons I'd be prepared to plunk down money for a Blu-ray box. But it's not obvious from the above what it's capable of recording or how this works.
