Sony's monster DVRs invade Japan

Sony has announced a new line of 250Gb and 500Gb DVR devices in their "CoCoon" line. I don't know if they plan to bring them stateside but they will be selling in November in Japan. I've heard the CoCoon line will offer all sorts of features including DVD read/writing and possibly gaming. With a quarter and half a terabyte of storage, they might even do HDTV recording.

The name of the device line kind of cracks me up, I assumed the japanese lifestyle trend among young people of "cocooning", or staying at home instead of going out, was a derogatory label, but maybe it's something consumers embrace or don't really notice.
