Once again, Sony's booth was front and center upon entering the CEDIA floor, and while most everything there was as advertised, this one particular unit stuck out. Yeah, maybe it just caught out eye because it's around the size of a small refrigerator, but upon speaking with a company representative, we learned that it's actually a 400-disc Blu-ray Mega Changer. The unit on hand was simply there for demonstrative purposes, but Sony intends to launch the BD-Live-capable, RS-232 port-packin' beast in early 2009. There's no word on whether it will ever interface with HTPCs, but we wouldn't count on it. Tap the gallery for a closer look.

I suppose the purchase price will be the equivalent to a compact car...

Looks like a neat product (if you have the space for it ), but like my DVDs, I have no problem putting them in one at a time.  So I'll save what will most likely be an ungodly amount of money and pass.

It seems they modeled this one after their ES A/V receivers, but taller (maybe deeper too) for obvious reasons.

It would help me out, but I'm just barely out of it's capacity range.  They should be stackable like the 777 DVD players they had/have out.
