Sony boosts capacity of its mountable, high-def, BRX-series DVRs

Sony boosts capacity of its mountable, high-def, BRX-series DVRs
Those used to recording dozens of hours worth of SD video on DVRs with just a few gigs of storage often have a bit of a surprise when they move into the HD realm; a couple episodes of Pushing Daisies and Lost leave no room for any other prime-time drama. While not matching TiVo's capacious 1TB HD XL, Sony is doing its part with a larger, 320GB version of its BRAVIA BRX-series DVR, the BRX-320. It can tackle about 90 hours of HD content yet is small and light enough to be mountable directly on the back of many Sony displays. No word on what price tag will be affixed when this releases in about a month, but the 250GB model is going for about $300, so you can make your own guesses. Oh, and since that earlier version hasn't made it to US shores yet, don't hold your breath on this one.

If you've found yourself dumbfoundedly staring at your Bravia Internet Video Link-equipped HDTV thinking "when am I going to see some Slacker radio up in this piece?" -- you're in luck. Sony announced today that it would be bringing the streaming service to users of the company's $300 hardware add-on free of charge, allowing music hounds to grab "millions" of songs on over "100 individually programmed genre music stations" in CD-quality audio. The service joins other streaming content like YouTube and Amazon, and will be available immediately. So... why are you still reading this?

Sony profits bounce back with Bravias

Maybe Sir Howard has a master plan after all. Sony reversed their 10 billion yen forecasted loss for the year with a new expectation of profits to the tune of 70 billion yen. The new forecasted profit of $605 million is due in large part by profitability in the Sony Bravia LCD line. According to Sony, the Bravia sets were the best-selling LCD line in America for the fourth quarter of 2005, taking a 30-percent share of all LCDs sold. In hindsight, those quarter of a million super-balls might have added a little bounce into the once-dominant TV maker.
