"But the first BD product for the Japanese market other than Playstation
3 will be a recorder."
That's good news. I hope they introduce it here as a recorder as well.
And by the way, if they do, and if they introduce it later than 28 Feb
2007, it will have to have a built-in ATSC receiver. From what I have
heard, integrated ATSC receivers in Sony sets are excellent, so all of
this could be good news.

Sony unveils Blu-ray Disc recorder

TOKYO - Sony Corp. announced at its dealer convention here Wednesday
(Sept. 13) that it would introduce a Blu-ray Disc (BD) recorder in Japan
by the year's end, bringing hope to proponents of the fledgling optical
disk format.
The BD recorder is one of the products Sony is gearing up for a rapid
transition from standard definition to high definition resolution video
products. HD products will account for 80 percent of video product sales
next year, said Tsugie Miyashita, president of Sony Marketing (Japan)
Inc.
Sony plans to introduce a BD player in the U.S. next month. But the
first BD product for the Japanese market other than Playstation 3 will
be a recorder.
"Recorders have much stronger demand [than players] in Japan.
Playstation 3 will satisfy the demand for players," said Miyashita.
The BD recorder complies with BD-RE version 2.0 and will be able to play
single- or double-layer BD-ROMs and DVD disks.
Sony and Matsushita introduced BD recorders BDZ-S77 and DMR-E700BD,
respectively, based on the BD-RE version 1.0 in 2004. Neither was
compatible with other BD products.
