Panasonic came out with their "Hot Product," a Laser-Disc recorder.
Ultra-high quality, 500 ms direct access to any frame of a 5 minute
disc.

Two major problems: It can't record in real-time and costs $750 a disc.

Anyone got that kind of money?

I heard the recorder was 35 G's, but the discs are only $30.
