Dell Business has the D-Link Boxee Box Streaming Media Player for $200 - $20 off with coupon code 21R1KZ8PDB3HB5 [Exp 1/21] = $180 with free shipping. Runs Boxee software for streaming from MTV, Digg, TED Talks and Pandora. Also features full 1080p support, USB ports for external hard drive connectivity, 802.11n and a QWERTY remote.
#3 is full of it - it doesn't have Netflix support...yet. It will in a later firmware update that people have been impatiently waiting for. Personally, I'd wait for the announced Iomega boxes and see what Sigma comes out with. The boxee box doesn't have a gigabit NIC and doesn't have any IR support for you Harmony peeps (excluding the 890s and such that support RF).
I generally buy products based on what they do, rather than what the company says it will do in the future.
I've been bitten more than once by buying products that promise something and never end up delivering on it. Or on things like the PS3, by buying it and having promised things removed.
It does Vudu and I'm pretty sure I saw a netflix app at least in the PC version I use. Needless to say there's a $20 off code at newegg for the same price with free shipping and no tax - EMCKJJF27
The PC version has Netflix, the box version does not, sadly. This is the only feature holding me back from buying one of these, the guts on this (minus the gigabit wired connection perhaps) are built to handle any non-DRM local content you can throw at it (Tested has a nice review up on this). I would personally rather pay for this than make my own HTPC, but the lack of Netflix is a deal breaker.
#7 is right, buy things because they are awesome now, in their current form... not because they have potential to be cool later under the proper conditions.
netflix,really? I don theenk so,Steempy.
$200 - 20% = $160.
One of the details is wrong

Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, Last.fm, Napster, Picasa, Flickr, Jamendo
It's a $20 off coupon.
#3 hmm, according to Boxee forums, it's still not there. And Youtube is gone now too. ?
