I didn't see a thread about this. It's basically a set top box that can read video files on USB thumb/harddrives and output them to your TV. It's tiny, and seems to support almost all video formats, ISO and VIDEO_TS. It has HDMI and composite outputs.

On sale for $99 at BB, but sold out online and at every store around me. How does this thing compare to using your 360 or PS3 to watch video files on your TV, in terms of formats supported?

MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV9, AVI (MPEG-4, Xvid, and AVC), H.264, Matroska (MKV), OGM and MOV (MPEG-4 and H.264). For audio, it supports MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, PCM, LPCM, AAC, FLAC, Dolby Digital, AIFF, and MKA files—plus PLS, M3U, and WPL playlists. For photos, it supports JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMG, and PNG. It also works with SRT subtitles.

For HD playback, the device supports MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, and WMV9 video at up to 1920 by 1080p at 24 frames per second (fps), 1,920-by-1,080i at 30 fps, and 1,280-by-720p at 60 fps.
