I see this as the VCR of the next generation. Was the VCR a bad idea?

These are all features that are part of the future of home entertainment, and Sony is offering all of them in a single piece of hardware. Where's the " bad idea " part?
No, I'd have to buy a TiVo, which I would have if I wanted one.

If you haven't gathered over the years Stu, I don't like when companies try to create the "digital entertainment lifestyle" (cheesy marketing term Microsoft is using in a recent survey). I want a game system to play games. When the consoles are announced, I want them to talk about the games. Maybe throw in the DVD player thing at the end. But what have I been hearing lately? PS3 and Xbox 2 to use TiVo technology! Why the hell do I give a damn? If I wanted a Tivo, I would buy a Tivo. When I want a game system, I will buy a game system. I don't want to buy a game system/pc/dvd player/cd player/tivo/time machine/microwave/walkman/*
