We thought that 100-hour TiVo with the 120GB hard drive from Samsung was hefty, but Sony is about to blow out the rest of the digital video recorder market (at least in Japan) with a new version of its CoCoon DVR that has a 500GB hard drive. The CSV-EX11 also has two TV tuners for recording two shows at the same time, a Memory Stick slot for viewing digital photos, and, from what we can gather, you can also connect it to a PC over a home network and archive shows to DVD if your PC has a DVD burner. Assuming that you somehow found a way to fill up all 500 gigabytes, that is.
