Aaah, games, they’ve taken so much of my precious lifetime already. I wonder if I’ll get a bonusgame when I die =P

I think the point of Boxes like these is to free people from the whole CHOOSE CABLE OR SATELLITE war. People like free choices. I don’t pay for cable or satellite, but have a PS3 with Linux so I can watch Hulu, CBS, Netflix, YouTube, etc… on my HDTV. I don’t even need Linux for most of that with PlayOn (themediamall.com). Pandora is just the nice next thing to come along.

The best blu-ray option has to be the PS3…sorry. Not only is it ranked the highest on CNet but you can upgrade it’s functionality and adopt any new blu ray formats easily. You can also use its browser to stream anything from Hulu, CNN,ABC,Youtube…especially with the Flash 9 update just released. It looks great in HD btw.

Well the easy way is just hook up your laptop to all of that. Besides, all the shows you can watch on Hulu and CBS, ABC, CNN, etc. are on cable or satellite TV anyway. Wouldn’t having the set top box be duplicitous??

In any case, I would LOVE to get this. It’s about time my family adopted BluRay, and having Netflix and Pandora streaming just definitely takes the cake. Too bad it’s still $400.

Wow this is how I learn about think like Pandora that I never heard about before. Where is Hulu? Also CBS, ABC, CNN, etc… We need a device that can do all this and future stuff too.

If it can stream Pandora then it should be able to stream from slacker.com and others too, no?

Zach or anyone else: Will this device be compatible with a wireless adapter that can hook into home wifi? I have looked around with no luck. Also, the Netflix site says that it streams in “near DVD quality” so not that hot. I imagine Netflix will eventually up their streaming quality, but can this player handle HD streaming? Not much info regarding that either.
