Can’t say I saw this coming but Sony has announced 6 new DVRs for that will launch on September 25th in Japan and the rest of the world on October 22nd. Having last seen a true DVR for Sony years ago, this new series from has the latest technology you can think of. Five out of the six units will come with a dual tuner (meaning you can record two shows at once) and the hard drive sizes range from a 320GB to a 2TB unit. But in case you still need room to record or would like to burn your content for viewing later, all of these units can read/write to a BDXL drive. A Blu-ray Extra Large is a new size blu-ray disc that can store 100GB on each disc, verse the traditional 25GB and 50GB blu-ray disc. As we states in the head line as well, these units will indeed be able to record and transmit back 3D via the hard drive or blu-ray disc. Oh and to top it all off, these units will be able to boot from sleep mode to fully operational in .5 seconds.

Hit the jump for a list of model numbers with hard drive sizes and some additional pictures:
