Sharp Corp Makes Move In HD DVD Race

Sharp Corporation announced that they will be releasing a Blu-ray HD DVD recorder with a 1-terabyte hard disk drive. Sharp hopes to pull ahead in the race with HD DVD rivals Microsoft and Toshiba.

The model, which can record 127 hours of digital high-definition programming, will go on sale December 1 in Japan for 300000 yen, the equivalent of $2616 US. Unfortunately for the rest of the globe, Sharp does not plan to release the model elsewhere at this time.
