I should be getting this Rapsody N35 Media Streamer/Player next week. As you can see this thing plays just about all the popular video and audio formats out there. I'm going to add a hdd to the unit so I can store my dvds, videos, and music locally. I can also stream content straight from my pc as well.

Currently using a 400 disc dvd changer. If that device works out I may sell the changer and go disc-less.

Cheapest DVD Player I could find. Looking to try my luck with a modded Xbox sometime in the future.

I've been ripping my movies to my HTPC and watching them through my Xbox360s.

XBMC
its the only thing any self respecting geek should use. (excetp for HD content)

Please add to you choices... it is more than just "Multimedia Streamer"

I was thinking of going that route and although I like the UI there were too many limitations for me. I must admit that at $150 it's a great value for a media center.
