Which HDD DVD Player?

[MIHALS]

Hi guys, X-Mass is round the corner and I'm deciding which player to buy for my parents. it has to be a HDD recorder, so my mum can record all those Dallas, Esmeralda and this kind of sh*t... :lol: and for me to plug my iPod so I can watch all those car vids, so the video input could be a advantage :wink:

any idea or a good advice for whichone to chose?

price up to 240GBP

Thanx!!!

i say if you have a xbox 360 the get the HD player for it and you can buy some movies off xbox live. but you can't record :bah: just the normal xbox CD drive out shines and DVD player i have seen yet.

My dad just bought himself a Sony HDD, really easy to use and everything, easy menu and so on. Philips is nice too but a bit pricey :roll:

I'm actually thinking about SONY RDR-HX 720, which looks best to me and it's the top price I'm willing to pay :hmm:

I think you have an HDD confused with HD-DVD :)

it's 715 and I want 720 so I hope it's different :?

either way...Panasonic, Poneer, Sanmsung all get better reviews from users than Sony...(main concern is that its overpriced)...

[MIHALS]

well yes, it's the same as Nike for shoes and Nokia for Mobiles... overpriced

so r u going for the sony then?

and also, do u get an equivelant to a PVR that we get here...

[MIHALS]

well, just checked the price in local Sony Store and it's about 50GBP more than I expected, which is quite a lot :bah: so I'm starting thinking about Pioneer or Panasonic models

[MIHALS]

I'm not in the uk since 4 months now lol

but this site doesn't have HDD recorders :(

will have a look around Panasonic and Pioneer though
