So do you have to use a PC with Media Center installed? What if I just wanted to stream videos from Win XP Pro x64? Don't really have an extra machine to setup for media center but this looks like a great deal.

I think it has to be Vista Home Premium or Ultimate. XP Media Center edition MAY work but I have no real idea. XP pro will not.

Very nice deal at Newegg right now:
DMA2200 in a combo deal with your choice of that WOW game, 2 different 250GB drives, an HP AIO, GoW2 X360, GTAIV X360, or a couple software utilities for free. Wireless N router for $130 more, Vista Home Premium x64 for only $30 more.
Checked on the AIO and it had free shipping

What advantages does a Media Extender have over an Xbox360 (it is a media extender in its own, right?)
Any clarification would be great.

Can you repost the links on the dell site for the lower prices. All I can find now is the DMA 220 for $169.99 and the 2100 for $119.99?

Looks like the lower-priced SKUs are now gone from Dell's site. I am glad a jumped in. I hooked up and tested mine, and am satisfied with the performance. It seems to play AVIs better than the D-Link I have had.
I think the D-Link will have to go. It wll pay for the DMA2200 and even put some cash into my pocket. Plus, I am getting a DVD player in my bedrom which I have not had since the cheap one I had previously broke.

Dell has a "10 Days of Deals" going again. Tomorrow (Day 9, Wednesday March 19th) they have the Linksys DMA2200 listed. Considering how high prices have been on these things (Newegg has it for $299.99!! and I haven't seen any near $100 lately) this could be a hot deal. Won't know the price until tomorrow.
Love my DMA2200 so far. Remote is kind of crappy (have to aim fairly accurately) and bootup time is probably a minute, but otherwise it's plenty responsive enough and the dvd upconversion works quite nicely.
Even has me interested in adding more extenders, a WHS, and an HDHomerun at some point. And this is all with using digital converter boxes for my whopping 15 OTA channels.
