"Best thing ever"
What I like:
Plays everything that I want
What I don't like:
Audio playback isn't that brilliant, FF/RW could be quicker
Review:
Had this product for a LOOOONG time now, was in the first 200 units.
They are constantly updating features (I am in beta group), it plays every video I can find, HD looks incredible.
Support community is great.
Main issue is with speed of moving around video, they have some good tricks (time seek, 1 = 10%, 2 = 20% etc), but i-frames support will make it much quicker. Next 2 months I am promised :)
Really I wouldn't hesitate to recommend though. Bought mine direct, about £100.
Last one to sell on ebay sold for;
£170.00 +£12.50 20-Aug 12:19
Not many electrical products you could sell a year on and make 50%+ profit on.

Don't hold your breath for Wii HD, says Nintendo
Nintendo cautions against holding your breath for a new Wii HD. Such action won't make it release an HD console any quicker, and might result in the breath-holder getting dizzy and passing out

Capable, and a good choice for students, but it's more expensive than rivals and the glossy screen is horrible
