811239 2009-09-17 07:36:00 Looks good and reasonable price as well.

However, I have a PS3 and can do all of that and more.

811241 2009-09-17 07:46:00 Still can't see why they don't put a NIC in them though? nofam (9009)
811242 2009-09-17 08:50:00 It is a little evasive in some of the claims - f'r instance, "‐ Lets you connect to the highest quality HDTV or home" Yeah, it connects to the tv, but what does it send?

Any drand that says "we do better than brand X at - - -" is possibly a bit stronger in snake oil than substance, in my 1c worth of opinion.

Keeping the price down possibly?

Keep your eyes peeled BTW ....a new WD TV with NIC is coming soon!

I'm assuming he has the stock HD, being the "typical" user...

Xbox can do everything on the list except the bluray...

811247 2009-09-17 09:40:00 But the Xbox comes from the home of zune - - - so the answer is a lemon. R2x1 (4628)
