DVD FunSo Philips is releasing

DVD Fun
So Philips is releasing a DVD Recorder. I'm wondering how much they are going to charge for this. Unless the price was significantly cheaper, I'd pick up a G4. Because all the models above the entry level one have a DVD burner in it. I'd think that gives you a lot more options. To record TV you would still need a video capture card, or maybe you could even use a digital camcorder.

Still, I can now see the day where the DVD recorder replaces the VCR. The prices will need to come down significantly before that happens, but it will. And I think it will probably be a good thing! Before I had my TiVo I was always taping things. Video tapes take up a lot of space. A lot more then just a CD/DVD does. The specs say that the disks have 4 hours of high quality video recording, though I wonder if that is variable.
