Bigger is better. Or at least that’s what the folks in Texas think. And so must the people at Sharp, you have announced a Blu-ray recorder with a very roomy 1 terabyte HDD! Now that really is huge. That is the largest HDD so far.

The 1-terabyte model, capable of recording 127 hours of digital high-definition programs, will go on sale on December 1 in Japan for about 300,000 yen ($2,616).

Sharp also plans to offer eight other new Blu-ray recorder models by the end of the year in Japan in a bid to replace video cassette recorders and conventional DVD machines.

The Osaka-based company said on Wednesday it has no specific plans at the moment for overseas launch of these products.

So although you really can’t get one, it just goes to show you the future of Blu-ray recorders will apparently contain larger drives.
