$195 canadian from ncix. Even at that price, it's almost disposable when a better one comes out that supports vxid as well.
A Modded xbox is definately the way to go for a set top multimedia player.
I have yet to download a vid that it cannot play.
and as an added bonus it will even play xbox games.
