Sony updated its media center lineup today with two new models, the VGX-TP1D and VGX-TP1DQ/B. Both will feature major improvements including a 2 Ground Digital TV Tuner and better video recording capabilities.
Both models come with updated hardware including an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100, 2GB RAM, a GeForce Digital 8400M GT graphics card, integrated WiFi, four USB ports, 4-pin FireWire, TV tuner, HDMI / VGA outputs, multi-card reader and a wireless keyboard.
The VGX-TP1D comes with a 320GB hard drive and a dual-layer DVD writer while the more expensive VGX-TP1DQ/B beefs up that spec with a 500GB hard drive and a Blu-ray burner.
Both of these new media centers will be available in Japan in about two weeks for an asking price of ¥150,000 ($1,392) and ¥200,000 ($1,856), respectively.
