Sony BDZ A70

The PSP is a definite multimedia platform, and AT&T is selling a metric assload of Walkmen phones from Sony-Ericsson, but both of these devices have limited sources of media to take advantage of.

PS3 owners have long enjoyed the ability to rip disks or downloadable content for their portable devices, but what if you’re an Xbox 360 fan? Enter the BDZ-A70, a set-top DVR-style device that automatically formats content for your portable Sony devices. Pretty cool, really.

Unfortunately, because it’s Sony, it will only work with Sony peripherals and devices. That’s what Sony does. It also lacks the PS3’s Blu-ray drive, so depending on the price when this hits, a PS3 might still be a better value. You can play video games on it, you know.

    Hard to belive you missed the Blu-ray logo in the picture. Actually, this one has a Blu-ray recorder. PS3 has only read-only BD.

    > it will only work with Sony peripherals and devices…
    The spec says it works with any Foma 905i, 904i series. That means it works with Panasonic, NEC, Sharp, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, etc…
