Normally, tech devices excite the inner-geek inside of me. However, every now and then, a device elicits an emotion that can’t be described without disturbing the calm of people around me. If the Toshiba RD-A1 HD-DVD recorder covered by Engadget ever makes it stateside, I may not be able to contain myself. Set to hit Japan – and at 33 pounds, it will be quite an impact – on July 14th, the RD-A1 features a 1TB disk, TV tuners for Hi-Vision (the Japanese equivalent of Hi-Def) and analog broadcasts, 1080p output from HDMI, and of course, a built-in HD-DVD recorder that can record to either single (15GB) or double-layer (30GB) HD-DVD discs. For us networked device junkies, it also has built-in Ethernet and support for DLNA media streaming. How much to get your drool on? Just a few burgers short of $3500. No one ever said that this tech addiction would be cheap.
