Good: Ability to plug in external drive through USB and watch *.avi files
Bad: Doesn't mark what you've watched.
Comment: After trying out another software streaming based solution to the PS3 onto the HD tv in the lounge, I was looking for a solution to watch movies / view pictures / listen to music on my TV in the bedroom, but not through streaming technology and came across this little beauty!
Simply plugged it in, hooked up with HDMI cable and plugged in external USB storage device, after a 5 minute scan, it brought up all the conent and made it availalbe to watch.
I've not come across a single piece of media which it can't play so that a surprise!
My only flaw with the product is that if your watching a lot of content, it would have been nice if it somehow had the ability to mark what you've watched, so you know where you are in the series without haveing to run through the files to determine if your remember if you've seen it or not.
Other than that, perfect if you ask me!
