The plan was for me to get it in June but things happened but it looks like I will be getting it in Mid-January. Who else on here doesn't have a DVD Recorder Yet?

I bought one about a week before Christmas in 2004. Hard to believe it's been 2 years now. :eek: I can't even remember how things worked before. :lol: It's just so much better.

No way man!!! Because I bought my FIRST one in Jan. 2006, hehehehhehe!!!

I have a DVD player, but not a DVD recorder.

Looks like i will be buying it with my income tax check-lol

Fortunately, I don't have to buy one. My roomate just recently bought one, so I just use hers whenever she's not home.

I don't have one and have no plans to get one anytime soon.

Mine's all in one!!!

I already have one. I bought it last January. I may upgrade in 2007 to one that has a hard drive, not sure.

Yea that sucks. The K-Mart here in town still carries them though and if it really comes to it I got hundreds of VHS tapes with movies on it. I can always use a few of them that I don't watch anymore. I'm more concerned with the VCRs then I am the tapes. I just don't see a reason to get one right now. I buy Movie and TV DVDS anyway and as far as taping I use the VCR to tape shows that I erase anyhow.

The DVD recorders with hard drive are how much and why is it an upgrade?

The DVD recorders with hard drive are how much and why is it an upgrade?

It's an upgrade because the DVD recorder that I currently have, doesn't have a hard drive.

I looked at a couple that cost roughly $400. They were both Samsung. Philips has one that's $300. That was at Walmart.com

Consumersearch.com (http://www.consumersearch.com/www/electronics/dvd-recorders/index.html) I went here to find out which was the best brand to get.

What does a DVD recorder with a hard drive do that a DVD recorder without a hard drive can;t do?

It makes it easier to copy stuff from one dvd to another, for one thing. I could save whatever I want to copy on the hard drive and then put it on another dvd. Also, I could put all my Norman Lear shows I have, on tape and dvd, on the hard drive and then just copy them to a disc.

LOL Well I don't really shop at Wal-Mart, So it didn't come from Wal-Mart and we don't have any K-Marts around here so it didn't come from there either.

I have 3. One doesn't work anymore, though. Had them for...3 or 4 years.

I want a Blu-Ray DVD Recorder and an HD-DVD recorder. :)

I also don't have a DVD recorder....yet. Funny you brought this up because I was looking at the prices on a couple of them at Wal-Mart about 1.5 weeks ago. They're down to about $60-70 for the cheaper name brands. Wow! That's a long way from their original $400+ price some years ago.

Anyway, I plan on buying one. It might even be sometime in 2007. My TV is so new that I can't get my cable connections to record stuff on TV, so maybe a DVD recorder will just be something I need to record stuff.

I want to spend close to $500 since it will be something I will use everyday. I would never pay $60 for DVD recorder

Too Low for me

Well I'm happy with what I bought it's compatible with DVD-R. DVD-RW, CD, CD-RW it's hard to find that for the price I got mine for. It'll be a waste to spend $400 on something that does the exact samething as mine. If you ask me that's a steal and I had been shopping around for one every since January.

Where did you get yours? Was it on sale or something?

I don't look for STEALS when buying something like a DVD Recorder-lol

I wasn't looking for a steal I wanted something with atleast 80 GB and that's what I found. Everything that I was finding didn't have a hard drive at all. You could just record and that's all, you could make menus or anything on the ones that I was finding, and they weren't compatible with all the DVD-Rs and such. So when I found this one and it had everything that I was looking for, I bought it. That's a damn good price for what all it does.

I got it from CompUSA, I got it about 2 weeks ago and it wasn't on sale then.
