Newegg has the Western Digital WD TV Live Plus Media Player WDBABX0000NBK-NESN (bulk) for $90 - 10% off with coupon code HARDOCPX323E [Exp 3/25] = $81 with free shipping. Features Netflix streaming, supports DVD navigation, HDMI port, and is Wi-Fi ready (needs adapter). Here's my review for this player.
can you use this to actually go to websites and view internet content on ones tv? and if you cannot with this wd plus is there a device, besides getting a laptop and hooking it up to the tv that you can view websites?
I had been waiting for that $65 refurb one on the WD site to come back. For $15 more I'll buy it new....
I have a non-plus version already (WD TV Live), and it works GREAT across my network. I stream 1080P content from an IOMega Home Media Drive, and it NEVER skips a beat. I try to stick with x264 encoded stuff. I have played some AVIs and full DVD rips without problems.
This Plus version is going out in my workshop so I can stream Netflix out there (I have a Bluray in the house that does already).

#1, you can't with this device. I think Viewsonic or some other brands let you do that but sucks at what this thing does best, streaming content.
I bought this thinking it would allow me to watch my movies on my home network through the ethernet port.
I have the original USB version, and playing ISO files hasn't been an issue for me, but through the ethernet port on my network, they won't play.
I am able to play everything on this. It is great. I just wish they would get an iphone app to control it.
