Cool! This is a new idea (afaik) and a great way to market an external drive for a home theater. Go Buffalo! Now all we need is a review....

Sorry Crabby, but I don't really see the value in this product. You can get DVD 1080p upsamplers now at that price (or less). The only difference here is that it takes up a bit less space. What we need is that form factor (just a bit bigger) that accepts thumb drives and an internal 3.5" SATA drive (up to at least 1TB). It needs to play MPEG4 and h264/x264 videos. I'd be willing to pay up to $400 to buy that kind of a product.
