  • Great deal with 1080p and HDMI but cannot play rmvb, hence no good to me …

  • ahh h26 and mkv would be nice, the main thing this has got going for it is the remote

    still loving my dvico

  • If you want HDMI, you probably also want h264/AVC codec and high-def decoding, as well as MKV and MP4 (= Apple .m4v) containers.

    I can't link to a cheap high-def equivalent player now, but the sub-$100 blu-ray players (with USB) like the Soniq listed in this forum do the job nicely.
    Has anyone seen any cheap high-def media-players without optical drive? Should be easy using the same chips as the blu-rays.
    So they cannot be far away.
    Perhaps the user interface in the Sony is better? But AVI and DivX is ancient history to me now.

    • The user interface is not good on this one , its one of the negatives in the review.

    • Nationite HDVP-2. Decodes every format and HD you can think of for ~$110 delivered.

    No MKV? And upscaling divx to 1080p would HORRIBLE. Looks like a terrible product, but won't neg cause it may be a bargain I guess.

      Not sure why people are voting you down? You are correct. No mkv support is not optimum. You didn't neg, you just said a fact. If you take a divx at the best quality they come in, 624x352 then times that by 3 it will look shocking. Every pixel normally is now represented by 3 and that will look at sharp as an unused wooden pencil.
      BUt it is a bargain, but I would personally pay more for something that in a years time will still be used. This will, but only if you are stuck in January 2009. Since then 720p tv rips have become very popular.

      • I know why. Because the Internet is full of idiots.

  • This would be just perfect for me if it had support for more video formats, shame.

  • At this price, I bought one for when I am working overseas and won't have access to a PS3. That way, can still watch all my downloaded TV shows. Figure I'll test it out here and if it's a complete dud, I'll just sell it on. And if it works sweet, I may even use it here too, as it may save burning the PS3 out. Will this produce a similar picture quality to the PS3 if you are viewing standard 350MB .avi files if you hook it up via HDMI cable?

  • Kinda useless without the support of the major formats.

  • +2

    I just called City Software to find out shipping costs: $10 to Melbourne, $15 to Brisbane, sorry I did not check for Sydney….I'm just a lazy Mexican !

  • Now sold out. Pretty amazing, when I ordered at lunchtime there were 182 units in stock.
