Usually when we hear about mega-disc changers we're reminded of Sony's older behemoths, which always seemed like a great idea but were often more trouble than they were worth. Sony's been in the changer business for a long time, but the new HES-V1000 looks completely different than the company's previous offerings and offers some truly cutting-edge features. With its rectangular, tower-like design, the HES-V1000 is a 200-disc changer that can play and record to CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. With only about 300 total Blu-ray discs on the market, that might be overkill, but you can fill the gaps with your existing CD and DVD collection. The Blu-ray changer is impressive enough as is--it's the first giant Blu-ray changer we've seen--but Sony has gone the extra step of including a 500GB internal hard drive that Sony claims can hold "137 hours of video, 40,000 songs, or 20,000 digital photos".

Sony sure knows how to make the filing cabinet sexy again
yeah it's a lot of money, but for someone who's got the cash this would be a nifty little gadget.
Am I the only one that thinks this is a little OTT?
I wouldn't buy that. Not only would I have no where to put it but it looks stupid. Not to mention it would probably be easier to just get up and change the disc instead of trying to find it in you 200 disc collection. Have people really gotten that lazy?
Yes kindrik....yes they have.
I'd say up that thing to a TB.
Sony is just getting weirder and weirder...
No need for me to buy something like this...Its just not worth the cash imo.
Am I the only one that thinks this is a little OTT?
Definitely not
for $2500 (leaving 1000 for everything else....) you could buy 6 TB's of HDD's. I'd much rather not risk all those moving parts of a changer.
All it need to do is karyoke on demand and my bros out of a job
You brother is a giant, expensive, glorified cabinet that changes dvd's, CD's and DVD's, with a mind with the equivilent to a 500GB HDD?
Hes a pub DJ that also dose partys
So yes
You still need somebody to operate this thing.
Not with the disc changer
One button called play
