FINAL THOUGHTS
I can sum it all up in three words – I WANT ONE! Ok, four – NOW!!!!!
The Boxee Box by D-Link is scheduled to ship in the first half of 2010 through the company’s vast network of retail and e-tail outlets, and at D-Link’s online store, www.dlinkshop.com, for the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP) of $199.
At the moment there doesn’t appear to be any availability outside of the US – which is a real shame, but watch this space.
We hope to have our hands on a Boxee Box soon – stay tuned!
So it appears it has all the primary video and audio formats. Anyone see any popular formats missing that I should be concerned about.
Nothing that I can think of so far 🙂
Time will tell though, I suppose someone may find something they would like to play that isnt supported out of the box.
