Yes, this Sony Blu-ray MegaChanger is the biggest Blu-ray player we’ve ever seen, but there’s good cause for all that bulk: inside its belly, the BDP-CX7000ES houses up to 400 of your own Blu-ray discs to summon on command to your flatscreen.
As well as stashing your entire physical Blu-ray collection without the need for a petabyte hard drive, the Sony Blu-ray MegaChanger handles all your other home entertainment needs too: it plays DVDs and CDs and downloads movie and tracklisting information from Gracenote.
It dishes out 1080p visuals, naturally, and upscales those DVDs, and the Sony Blu-ray MegaChanger is 7.1 surround sound friendly too. It’ll even download the latest codecs via ethernet for you so all your viddies will play like a charm on this HD jukebox, even ones you bung in off a USB key.
The Sony Blu-ray MegaChanger ships stateside next month for $1,900 (£1,150), even more than the God-like Panasonic DMR-BS850. But can you put a price on having to get up and change discs during a HD movie marathon? Mull over that while we wait for a UK release for the Sony Blu-ray MegaChanger.
