WD TV HD already available for the same price and works great. All you lack is a HDMI cable which you can pick up online for about $5.00.

Go to http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=572

WD TV is buggy at best. It's the poor man's version. It's a media tank with plastic wheels. How well it plays depends on the rip. A friend of mine had trouble playing a lot of 1080p from different sources and even a some 720p.

I have never had a problem. Plays all my files perfectly. It could be because I updated to the latest firmware version at:

I love my WDTV, can't be beat for $99 usd. I have a 1.5 TB hooked up to it and now I am saving money on dvd-r and building up a media machine. I am glad to see WD with a quick firmware to fix most problems, they actually listened to their customers!

My friend did have some problems playing 720 and 1080 content, mostly audio problems, but for me I haven't had any issues.
