We were already warned that Sony was gearing up to <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/04/sony-to-push-blu-ray-hd-recording-abilities-of-vaio-machines/">push the Blu-ray / HD recording abilities of its VAIO machines</a>, and here's all the proof you need that it plans on keeping its word. Here at <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/CEDIA/">CEDIA</a>, the outfit has unveiled a trio of new all-in-one desktop PCs -- not quite ready for an <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/HTPC/">HTPC</a> label, but definitely catering to the hordes of high-def junkies out there. The VAIO JS, LV and RT desktop models all boast at least an optional integrated BD optical drive, and surprisingly, each model is incredibly distinct. For instance, the budget-minded JS boasts a 20.1-inch XBRITE-ECO LCD alongside an integrated webcam and microphone for $1,000, while the LV includes a 24-inch WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) screen, optional BD writer and built-in DVR functionality with up to 1TB of storage; furthermore, it offers an HDMI input for connecting your set-top-box or PS3. The $3,300 (and up) RT comes with a 25.5-inch Full HD LCD aimed at video editors, and there's also integrated digital TV tuners, HDMI in / out, up to 8GB of RAM and one of Intel's Core 2 Quad CPUs. The trifecta should arrive in mid-October for those interested, and there's one more luscious angle after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/sony-busts-out-vaio-js-lv-and-rt-all-in-one-desktops-includes/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sony busts out VAIO JS, LV and RT all-in-one desktops, includes Blu-ray</em></a></p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://news.sel.sony.com/en/press_room/consumer/computer_peripheral/desktops/release/36730.html>Read</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/sony-busts-out-vaio-js-lv-and-rt-all-in-one-desktops-includes/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1303772/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/sony-busts-out-vaio-js-lv-and-rt-all-in-one-desktops-includes/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
