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.

    it's not for sale on thinkgeek... i'm also enraged at taco's lie that networked media devices don't exist to play any media. they do.

    slashdot = stagnated.

    Plenty of Sony crap that never gets sold on thinkgeek gets seemingly infinite amounts of praise on the slashdot front page

    plenty of crap that does get sold on thinkgeek gets a large amount of praise on the slashdot front page.

    people who say "seemingly infinite" are seemingly infinitely retarded.

    you couldn't possibly be any dumber...

    so a device takes in air from the top you say? and another expels hot air out of it's bottom... and you're saying it would be awfully difficult to line those up by stacking them?

    i bet you're great in bed... "sorry hun, that'd be awfully difficult to do"

    That Mac Mini sure does a great job of playing Blu-ray movies, doesn't it!

    In an unrelated note can someone please tell the freaking Apple fanboys to go consume a box of phalluses and expire?
