This is a little old, but still cool. Expensive as hell though.
I like that! I like that a lot! The HES (Home Entertainment Starship) V1000 has a 200 disc changer for Blu-ray, DVD and CDs, and it can write to those formats, too. What can it write? I'd assume stuff from a PC, but I'm thinking that it probably can write home movies, music and photos from its 500GB hard drive. And lord knows I love that Ethernet port.
The connection is used to hit disc meta-data and serve up video to DLNA devices like the PS3. (10 devices at once, and up to 4 different audio streams). It even has a PS3-like cross media menu, and you know what? I'd say that $3500 is just about a deal for this kind of functionality. We'll do what we can to get a hands-on ASAP.
