Panasonic showcases UK-bound DMR-BS850 Blu-ray recorder

by Darren Murph posted Feb 25th 2009 at 6:17PM

While the results in our most recent poll were decidedly mixed, those over in Britain will soon have the option of procuring their own Blu-ray recorder thanks to Panasonic. The DMR-BS850, which was recently showcased across the pond, will sport a dual FreeSat tuner and will rival the heralded Humax FOXSAT-HDR. Details beyond that are few and far between, but we should hear more during the run-up to its late 2008 release. Check the read link for a few more looks.

Late 2008??? You're telling me its late... its 2009 now. I personally think this technology is worthless, Blu-ray movies are one thing, but BD-Recorders are just plain and simply pointless, there are cheaper ways to do the same thing.

I, and several of my friends and customers, have been waiting for this technology to come to the US. I do believe that blanks need to come down in price for something like this to really take off, but even CD and DVD blanks were expensive in the beginning. Just look at where they are now. When can we expect someone to introduce Blu-ray recorders in the US?
