Bought this model from the WD Store as a refurb. Looked new. Works very well and now I burn fewer DVDs. One word of caution: Unless the firmware upgrade is not actually on your USB device when you insert it into the WD unit, the menu option to update firmware will not appear.
Good Price. But be aware that the WDTV2 will be coming out shortly that has some added improvements (Network capability, etc...).

I got one of these from TechSunny, it came very poorly packaged (in a cardboard envelope) and no usb drive was included, so good luck.
Why would you expect a USB drive to be included?
You can get from Staples brand new for $100 - $25 e-junkey coupon. = $75+ tax + $1 for coupon
#4 - because techsunny says "Enjoy bonus Free 4GB USB 2.0 Storage Drive Included." - even has a picture lol.
It is easy to add network capability to this unit with hacked firmware and 100MBt or 1GBt LAN adapter.
it is 69.00 shipped without flash drive

I will wait until the newer generation comes out so the prices of the older ones drop to around $60, then I will pick up one that supports RMVB.
