A burner, a burner, my kingdom for a burner.
Blu-ray burners are older than the format itself, and we still don't see them in the US. And the biggest slap in the face is I have about 80 VHS tapes with HD content on them. People always look at me sideways when they see my walls lined with this ancient technology... especially after I've convinced them to go HD, get HD cable/sat, and buy a BD player.
Someone please save me the continued embarrassment. Please.

Meh, I don’t need a blu-ray burner, at least I have no need to use one yet. But integrated blu-ray players are interesting, one problem, you can never change the speed at which the discs load so it better be a great blu-ray player. I purchased a 3rd gen Sony blu-ray player a year or two ago (I think we are at 5th gen now) and it is slow as hell at booting up and loading discs. I went with Sony because they created blu-ray so as a daft punk I purchased their player and I hear that others are faster. There are times I want to smash my blu-ray player because it takes so long to load. Pirates of the Caribbean 2 or 3 took the longest time to load. With a stand-alone player I can choose to get rid of it and buy a better one, with TV integration...not so easy. In then end that will be where all tech is at, everything integrated in to a TV. 3D, blu-ray, hard drives, internet capability, it will all come integrated, no need for Tivo boxes, Apple TV, or stand alone players. I am just saying if you have a product like a blu-ray player integrated into a TV...it better load damn fast because digital downloads and solid state flash cards are swooning over top of blu-ray like vultures eyeing a dying format. I love the blu-ray (over 60 movies and counting) and it is gaining momentum but at the same time its a dying format, who honestly wants spinning discs any more, especially when you have SD cards coming out at 64GB. For those who don’t like the digital download SD and flash cards are the future. I don’t think HVD or HVC have much of a chance.

Who wants a BD-recorder with only Composite/S-video inputs? Better yet, of what real use it? The idea of owning a BD recorder with VGA/Component/IEEE/HDMI inputs is a pipe dream.
What good is a BD recorder inbedded in a crappy HDTV? I would feel guilty recommending a Sharp HDTV to Osama Bin Laden.
