MWave has the refurbished Western Digital WDAVN00BN WD TV HD Media Player for Select USB Storage Devices for $60 + $0 shipping = $60 shipped with free "M" Club membership.
Full HD 1080p video playback and navigation from USB storage devices
HDMI and composite video interfaces for easy connection to a TV
I'm having a hard time deciding between this and the Brite-View. Some older Brite-View player reviews on amazon say it has problems with MKV and 1080p playback. Have they fixed this in firmware updates?
I bought one last year from the WD Store. Worked well and then died suddenly with a week to go on the warranty. WD replaced it quickly with no hassle. Works well and would buy it again.
This model has been discontinued by Western Digital. The replacement model is WDBABF0000NBK-NESN. The main difference between this one and the new model is support for DTS audio.
go with the $60 brite-view from amazon

I just bought this brand new at Best Buy this weekend for $60.
It works pretty slick even if the interface is kind of plain.
I copied my existing DVD's using CloneDVD+Anydvd and it plays the .vob files perfectly.
The average DVD movie is about 6 gig or so, and with a 1.5tb drive you could have over 200 movies ready to play.
Hey #7, theres this new thing called Xvid. You should look into it.
