GBPVR is an excellent free Media Center/PVR that has worked wonderfully for me for several years now. I have a PC dedicated strictly to GBPVR and although it does require a bit of setup to get working initially, its nothing a slashdot regular would have any trouble with. Once set up, it runs itself without issue and is very easy to use.

You're right it does look a LOT better. It's all pre-rendered though, the D3 trailer is done all in-engine in a similar way to how they've done the last few WoW trailers. They don't look nearly as good but are still fairly impressive seeing as they are basically machinima using the game engine except its produced in-house at Blizzard.
