Spiffy!

Yeah, I saw this earlier. Blu-Ray Disc support would be huge, but I didn't see anything as to whether it would actually play commerical Blu-Rays, or just those you burned yourself that have no DRM on them.

Either way, something to keep an eye on for sure.

" We sent over a query about the Blu-ray and Blu-ray live support mentioned, but were unable to nail down any new details -- we'd bet on being able to play back your de-AACS'd rips & backups but that's about it."

Yeah, this was my guess as well. I couldn't see how they could do full Blu-Ray support on it at this point.

Notice that Syabas is listed. They wouldn't be allowed to use the "Blu-Ray" lingo if they weren't - it's a trademarked term.

I'm torn between building a Plex box or getting one of these. Wonder which one the wife would like more.
