Boxee Box Pre-Orders Start At $229

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the a-little-late-i-think dept.

Engadget is reporting that Boxee is taking pre-orders at $229 for their set-top box that is utterly guaranteed to not fit into any stereo component rack you might have. They also have switched chipsets from the Tegra 2 to the CE4100. I'm not sure about this thing, but I'd sure like to play with one as I lust for the day when every piece of media I have can be played from a single device. I suspect it'll never happen.

    "anywhere"??? really? did you even look at the dimensions? it's not that big, it's just shaped to avoid stacking like the PS3... i see plenty of places it could fit on my tv stand.

    i would never buy one of these because it doesn't do anything that the devices i already own can't do...

    you're an idiot.

    so if the other manufacturer adds the fans you are suggesting, and those fans blow directly into the air intake of another device, that is somehow the fault of the 2nd manufacturer?

    you're an idiot.
