Our head says no, but heart says yes, yes to Sony’s latest ultramodern media PC, the VGX-X90P which comes with 7, count ‘em, 7 TV tuners, up to 1.6 terebytes of storage (half for the PC and half for storing video), a 3.6GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, a 128MB video card, and a DVD+-R/RW drive. Here’s the scary part: this bad boy retails for nearly five grand. And to go along with your new media PC you can’t afford (and also can’t buy except in Japan), Sony also announced a couple of companion pieces in the type X series, a matching digital HDTV tuner (the VGX-X90PS) and a 23-inch HDTV, the VGP-D23HD1.

Well thats $5000 us dollars so that makes it roughly £2500 which isn't a bad deal at all!..I've paid more or less the same for my laptop 2 years ago...Its an Amazing package for a relatively reasonable price.

Sony's Vaio 'Type X'Launches today. A Pentium 4 at 3.60GHz comprises the heart of this beefy PVR, with 1GB DDR and 1TB (4x250GB RAID 0) of storage standard—welcome to the future, where you can simultaneously record up to seven programs at once and store so many of them that you'll likely deplete national bon-bon supplies. If that weren't enough, the Type X also comes bundled with Adobe Premiere to edit as you please, and your choice of flat-panel display as an add-on, ranging in size from 17 to 23 inches. You won't be able to get one in the States, baring import, and the price is unclear. Rumors of a $4,000 price point (without display) have surfaced, and up to twice that with the big 23" HD display and storage tricked out to 1.3TB
Check out the excellent site!.In japanese but some great pics to look at!
