ive had this for abotu 2 weeks now. I got this because i was sick of re-encoding my anime so that my ps3 could stream it. Let me tell you, this thing RCOKS!. With the exception of vorbis audio codec, this thing has played every video format i have put into it without a single problem.
Sure, it doesnt do thumbnails at all whcih is dissappointing, but i have all my anime seperated into different folders which it sees, so that makes it easier to scroll threw.
The only flaw i see is that theres no ethernet hookup which would have made it easier to do firmware updates and also stream from computer instead of getting another external hd. But i have a nice 500gb drive conncted to it and it reads and plays off it without any issues.
One thing i noticed people bitch about is that problem if you shut off a movie you have to ff or skip chapters to get back to your spot. I dont know what they mean by that. I turn this device off in middle of movies when i have to go out and it ask me if i want to resume it when i go back to it which it does no problem.
So if anyone does anime and wants a easy way to watch it on the tv, this is deff the device for you. Oh man, sony ps3 has got compitition now. Booya
