i don't really have a need to the ps3 because it does cost a whole lot more than the other media streamers plus i probably won't play games (i only like sports games like hockey and football but those games cost dinero...hehe)

i've always wanted to get a mac mini and install plex on it as i love how it looks on my imac plus the plugins..but i can't justify paying anything close to $300 for it... plus you gotta have a receiver to get audio (or buy computer speakers)...
i was leaning towards the original wdtv since i won't really be streaming from the network but i hate how they don't price it correctly (hehe)...it should be around $69 or less and the live should be just like how the original was priced before $99..with all the dropouts that i hear and the lack of nice interface, lack of menus for a ripped dvd (i know i know, better to just rip the title set), i'd probably pass for the time being...

popbox seems to be good but i have to just wait and see...

i love the boxee box because of the interface but i hope that they won't price it like how they said..around 200 bux because everyone else seems to be wanting to sell theirs for $99-$140 ...at the moment they are leading though...

has anyone used a paid proxy to try to get hulu to stream to their boxes? this would essentially make you get rid of cable if the quality is great...
