Has anyone heard anything about Sony (or anyone else) making a Blu-Ray changer? I currently have a 400 disc DVD changer, and think it's the greatest thing ever. About the only way I can see getting a Blu-Ray set-up is by getting something similar...

It will probably be another 2-3 years before we get a changer of that size. Blu-ray has been on the market for over 18 months and we don't even have a 5 disc changer yet.

But I'm with you. I have 3 Kenwood 400 disc changers in my home theater and I love having them. Saves me a ton of space from not having to keep all the cases out on shelves.
 
sorry, can't say that i have. 400 disc changer? that boggles me someone would load that sucker up,sounds sweet though for storage/space.
 
Apparently that was an old article I pulled. I found the released version of the Sony HES-V1000. Amazon prices it to $2799.00, but Froogle lists it as low as $2500.00. Not bad considering Gizmodo said it would be around 3500.00 when launched.

That said, still light years more than what I'd be willing to spend yet.

The technology should be the same though. The mechanisms responsible for changing the discs have nothing to do with what type of laser it uses. I bet they're just waiting for costs to go down before they introduce one.

Edit: Wow, I should read further down before hitting that 'reply' button :p
 
I find that my wife is a convenient disc changer for all media types, only because the cats just run from the thrown beer bottles.

It's actually quite awesome. It's huge (won't fit in my tower, I actually put it on top of it), but when you're holding that many discs, well, it really can't be small.

We got it because we had a shelf with all our DVDs on it, and our 18 month old kept pulling the cases off the shelf. So we looked for a new shelving unit with a lock on it. What we were finding were in the $200+ range. I said, "Why not just get a changer?" and the wife agreed. We found the Sony one for under $300, and it's fantastic. I've become the very definition of sloth, as I can just sit on my couch and change from movie to movie without moving. Can't tell you how many times I will watch one of the Star Wars films, then change to another, then another.

Here's the unit I have:

I don't see why Sony couldn't just re-engineer this with a Blu-Ray mech, other than price. Would love to see it happen.

Well, at this point, Blu-Ray Players are still super expensive. So, why would you spend an extra $700 for a Blu-Ray changer, when you already have a $600 Blu-Ray player. When the price of Blu-Ray players drops a bit, they'll probably have a few on the market.
 
It would be nice to have a 400 disc bluray changer but I dont ever see me geting that large of a collection. I might have almost that in just dvd with all my box sets. Like a bluray changer that 400 disc dvd changer would be nice only pointless for me. I would still end up keeping the cases and forget what dvds were in it. Hell knowing the way i am when I get my own place I will chances are get the 400 dvd changer the 200 bluray and if they make one for HD I will get that. not to get off subject but do they make one for hd?
