Wow, I gotta agree. Swing and a miss. This needs to be $200-250, unless it provides a better experience than the xbox. And I thought I heard Vista only, which would be forgivable, if the Xbox hadn't already established XP support. Maybe I'm wrong, but I guess I'll find out in a couple days when I get my hands on this thing.

I love my extenders and 360 don't get me wrong I've been using them for about three years now. The only real draw I had to these things was something plenty cheaper than the 360 and SILENT. It remains to be seen how these things handle HD as they have far less horsepower than the 360. Also, I am looking forward to the new codec support down the road.
I'll Give you silent, but an xbox 360 is the same price, no?
We need more details, hopefully at digital life, but so far...
D-link extender: Small/silent Divx/xvid? Cons: Price Vista Only?
X-box 360: Same price as D-link, $350 Plays Games 20GB HD Downloadable HD content Cons: Not Silent Does not play Divx/xvid and other advanced formats w/o transcoding?
I don't own an Xbox, is there anything on the list I'm missing?
