Yes - but it's in very short supply and you probably won't get one anytime
soon unless you've been on a waiting list for a couple of months already.

Weaknees got a small batch in last week (30 units, if I remember correctly)
and sold 'em at $300 over MSRP in just a few hours.

Anyway to get the stored HiDef programming off the hard drive and onto tape?

It has component, hvi, and S-VHS outputs. If you have a recorder with any
of those inputs, you can record of the hard drive... At least until/unless
they start flagging the broadcasts.
