@Jayflash That's what I was thinking. Also given the dual switches on the lens, Image Stabilization is probably not functioning either.
@(Unverified) I already have a Blu-Ray player, but I refuse to buy discs at $25-30 a pop. I generally don't buy movies for that matter either, why would I want to watch the same thing over and over again. I just use Netflix for Blu-Ray. If I want to watch a movie again I just re-add it to my queue or by the time I would want to watch it again its probably available for streaming. Redbox and Netflix are slowly killing physical sales and I can't really say that bothers me one bit.
@Oli D The better question is why bother. I haven't found anything concrete even after looking over the products site, manual, and tech specs regarding the nic port speed. I am going to take the lack of indication as 10/100 speed which means that most single USB flash drives can saturate the network connection on read. Why would you need to bother trying to raidi 4 together to make sure you cap out the network connection.
@Temple
True, but most enclosures that support eSata also support USB as a fall back. Also you are not going to get any benefit of USB 3.0 on a PS3 or 360 as those devices lack the 3.0 controller.
Yeah, but did you have a pie chart handy? More people will believe you if you have a chart.
Superspeed USB good
Walwart bad

If I had to plug an external drive in to get high speed I would just use eSata. Enclosures are cheaper and readily available. Also, all I have to add to my desktops is a boilerplate SATA to eSATA plug, no new mobo or controller card.
Ah great, mobile projectors for the masses. I can't wait to see the horribly indecent, all be it hilarious antics this leads too.

Who gives a shit if your site or the product is 'high class', its still link spam. The link has absolutely nothing to do with this site or the content of the this article.

It goes a little something like this:

1.
2.
3. ???
4. You're a jackass.
A USB powered hard drive is to hard to come by? If it can boot and run from from a flash drive, it can run from a USB 2.5 HDD. Its just as inconvenient as having a USB key sticking out of the side of the machine.
It comes with 2 4' HDMI cables. I bet that Best Buy will still try to sell you 2 $100+ HDMI cables to go with this. I waiting for Monster Cable to try to start selling a car of air cleaner for superior wireless signal transmission and sharper picture.

"Yeah it comes with 2 cables, but if you want a really, really good and clear picture you need these $99.99 THX 1000 Monster Cable HDMI cables. Oh and this can of Monster Cable air cleaner for wireless signal clarity, its $59.99"
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
