    In other news, I'm still not interested.

    230 bucks for a broken product is still 230 bucks too much.

    Why don't these types of products ever have a decent size hard drive in them? Storage is cheap these days.

    Also, would it have killed them to use a desktop sized drive? Maybe even an SATA drive. It wouldn't add a horrible amount to the volume of the device.

    @LastAndLeast: Despite the port options and price, I'd rather just get a Mac Mini, which is what I'll probably end up doing, because it has the speedier drive, better proc and the NVidia graphics.

    I currently run a hacked Apple TV with Boxee and an external drive.

    It's great for the time being, but I'd recommend purchasing a media center that could adequately handle HD content. Apple TV doesn't have the power yet.

    And beware of WD My Book external drives. Mine refused to mount on my MacBook three weeks ago, and I'm still regaining the 500+ GB I lost from Mozy backups.

    @mcs212: Agreed, if you want a media center computer you can build a nice powerful one for under 1k that will handle HD streaming/recording, and soon... do it yourself cablecard!

    @mcs212: All I can say is: fuck WD external drives. My 500GB MyBook Home Edition finally started to fail mounting. I was tempted by the price, though wary of the poor reviews, but now I'll be sure to never buy another one of those (or LaCie) drives ever again. I suspect that the drive itself still works, and that the chipset is pretty much fried, which is a big issue on cheaper enclosures. Whenever a pre-built external dies, it's best to try swapping it into a better enclosure to see if the drive itself still lives, so you may not lose all of your data after all.

    @TT: If everything Apple could be combined into one single white box, how would visitors to your home know how cool you are?

    More white boxes = more cool. At least that's how it works in my house...

    @TT: I personally would not want my APE router+backup tool to double as a media player. It gets enough work doing the regular Time Machine backups. Totally different purposes.

    A last minute response to the forthcoming Zune software update for the Xbox 360 that will bring streaming 1080p movies that begin play almost instantly (less than 5 seconds).

    360 also has Netflix Watch it Now. It just seems silly at this point to purchase one of these. Your better off with an Xbox 360 that has far more content available and a huge amount of stuff in HD.

    @pɹɐoqʎǝʞuǝʞoɹq: It does exactly what was advertised. I know several people who are on their second and fourth 360. I'm on my original ATv. Got it about two months after they were released.
