Sony has just released their 200 disc changer and dubbed it the VGP-XL1B2. This device was once just available as a part of a complete Sony system, but now one can purchase it as a stand alone unit! It ain't cheap at 800 dollars, but this machine can not only read...it can write. Store, organize and protect your CD/DVD library with the XL1B media changer.

You can read what little there is to read at the Sony site by following this link. The
device is already heavily discounted (699) at online stores such as Amazon with a rebate. However, they are not available there at the moment. You can bet if reviews of this changer are favorable, that Sony will have tapped into a need for home theater enthusiasts on a budget and they will sell quite a few of these. It is being reported at quite a few places around the net, that up to five of these changers can be daisy chained together with it's Firewire connection for 1000 DVD storage.
