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.

    I'm sure "they" asked for 3 designs. So the designer did just that.
    1st) Designer pretentious wank, (The one he loved).
    2nd) Standard Corporate Beige (the one they'll pick).
    3rd) An awful one (they'll never want this one).

    Management/"they" didn't like the pretentious one; but didn't want to be seen playing safe with the 2nd one. So what could they pick? The 3rd mental design.
    Never design a "they'll never want this one" - They always want that one..

    Not rectangular. Bigger than a Nomad. Lame.
