nice price drop ! buy one people !
It will drop further when a lot of HD Media Players coming for Christmas.
It doesn't seem like it supports RM or RMVB.
this link includes the usb 4g drive, which is 75 not 69. the one without the usb drive is 69.
Guys, $6 less doesn't qualify as a (meaningful) price drop (even it's almost 10%)...it's a refurb.
refurbs are fine.
Agree with #2... price will drop next 3 months...
#5, it's a $21 drop in the past 10 days.
I bought the refurb. a few months ago for about $75, I think.
Indistinguishable from new (as have been the other refurbs. I bought over the years....GPS, 2 cameras and a PC come to mind).
The product functions well. But the firmware update is important.
I have this and love it. The new version 2 is coming out soon that is why the price is dropping. The V2 has an ethernet port that this one doesn't, but there is firmware available to make this one use a wireless USB network connector.
Seriously. No ethernet=fail. The only way this works is if you can run a really long USB cable. There are ways of doing that but why bother. I got a Kingwin unit with Ethernet for this price. The files it can't play I transcode with ffmpeg or mencoder.
Apple is also seeling AppleTV for $150 refurbed. I got one and it was as NEW with 1 year warranty. Installed Boxee and it plays everything. The only place it fails is doing full 1080P but I'm not picky about that.
How much power does this consume while playing back 1080p?
#12, I don't think it will be that much of power that you should be concerned about, to be honest. Certainly much, much less than the HDTV that is connected to this player.
this consumes 7watts playing back 1080p. it is great on power but no ethernet makes it really awkward.

Would you provide a link to the firmware you describe to enable this unit to function with a USB WiFi network adapter? I wasn't aware that it is possible with this unit and a I haven't been able to find a reference to the software you mentioned. Thanks!
#15, try www.wdtvc.com
#15 take a look at http://wiki.wdtv.org/doku.php?id=wdtv_firmware_hacks for alternatives.
I have one of these and love it. Have a drobo hanging off it which is a great combo. It really handles HD media well.. 1080p/24 even.. no problems.
don't bother messing with the USB ethernet firmware for this. Network performance is too low for full HD streaming. Yes, it can't even manage with a *wired* connection.
You need to enable NFS shares on this box to stream HD. Yes it can be done.
