Page 1 of Sharp 80gb Hard-Disc Dvd Recorder for only £199.77 - grab it while you can!

My best buy in YEARS has got to be the Sharp DVHR300 hard-drive DVD recorder that I bought to replace my video recorder.
Last year I got it on-line, from Comet, for £299 - when it was selling for £599 elsewhere!

Now you can get it from:

http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/content/products/details/html/SHA-DVHR300H.htm - for only £199.77.....

Details are as follows -

This is a really great machine that gives you excellent recordings that you can then burn to DVD (and play back) on the same machine.
Although it`s region2, you can make it region-free by downloading a patch and flashing the hardware. To do this, visit the indispensible Sharp DVHR300 Forum at - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/11/81845 - and you`ll find details of where to find the patch, and how to use it.

This really is just TOO good to miss!

I agree I brought this last year due to a posting in this forum and this is a great machine, bit quirky now and then but it works well and the picture is amazing. Read on another forum of people changing the hard drive for a bigger size but on SP mode (one down from top mode) you can record 30 hours on the drive and when I flick between recorded picture and actual picture I can`t tell the difference.

Sounds good, but DVD will be the thing in the past, IMO. Blu-ray will be the next big thing but of course will start out really expensive.

This is nice, cheap AND 80GB! :o

Empire obviously thought it was too good a bargain! Now priced at £264.40!

grr..

:( g`damn missed it. Please keep us posted if you see it anywhere else around the same price.

It might be worth waiting for the Sharp DVHR350H (same machine with a 120gig harddrive)
which EmpireDirect are advertising as "due soon" for £299.77. Another 40gig for just £35
more has to be worth thinking about.

If you go back to the empiredirect site, and type in `directlinx` 9A5 rather than going to the recorder through the menus, it still comes up with £199, and I`ve just ordered one! :)
