Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
I think that is very interesting to view the rear pannel of this HTPC unit to know what kind of outputs it brings.
My personal interesting goes to the 5.1/7.1 analog outpunts ... because I haven't an HDMI audio-receiver yet.
And more ...
On the italian (I'm italian) sony-style site:

there is a "strange" blu ray specification ... it says:
"The supported blu-ray disc (tm) format is not universaly compatible.
The Vaio machines do not support the reproduction of movies recorded on BDR in MPEG-4 AVC and SMPTE VC-1 formats at transfer rate over at 20Mbps".
So my question is here: If I buy some warners VC-1 BDR discs ans some FOX Mpg4AVC discs the vaio will be able to play this medias?
And more: Does all the BDR with those codecs has always bitrate under 20Mbps?
Thank you so much for some clarifications,
Actarus.
