What about WDTV? I've tried both the asus oplay & the wdtv. And I'm all for the WDTV Live. Youtube just got better but there is still no support for chapters on DVDs.

samc,

the folks at work use the asus player. does the wdtv have dts?

I can buy this on amazon for $79.99 new (Asus O!Play) and dont care about youtube or any of the other internet features, because i have a laptop and a PS3 already hooked up to the media center. What I dont have is an HDMI out on my laptop and so I'm looking to buy the O!Play to use with my 1TB external harddrive. (I want to punch something everytime i attempt to convert video files to something the PS3 will play.. I have the worst luck with it.) Also am going to (god willing) rip my dvds to the harddrive and want something that will play the ripped file exactly like it is without converting. That would be the .iso file, right? Ugh.

For those who have used this, should I bite at $79.99 given that I dont need the internet apps the WD TV Live offers?

I bought one months ago, man its awesome. I have a Home network(wired) so I can store my programs upstairs in the mybooks and network them to my TV. I have never watched a BD file on it, just simple TV shows etc. A definite must
