You need to consider offering 'The Engadgeter' a job the next time a position becomes vacant. He managed to answer questions and follow-up questions i had ahhhaha..

Great job SONY. How do you expect viewers (e.g. non native English speakers) to watch foreign movies? Psychic link?

Are you talking about this LaCie media drive?
http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/26/lacie-unveils-500gb-silverscreen-multimedia-hard-drive/
http://www.lacie.com/uk/company/news/news.htm?id=10352

If so:
a) it looks *much* bigger - the WD is only 5" wide and the remote alone on the LaCie looks longer than that i.e. WD=portable, LaCie not
b) it supports divx. Yesteryears technology. Literally. Where's 1080p? Can it do mkv? No mention...
c) there's no mention of support for music or photos *other than* for mp3 or jpg, which is very limited file support
d) no mention of hdmi, depite your post, only upscaling component out, which ain't as good as 1:1 mapped 1080p over hdmi
e) yes it has a 500GB harddrive but with the WD you can choose your harddrive and it's separate therefore portable and allows friends to plug their USB drives/sticks in easily, all of which are big advantages for me.

The LaCie just seems to fail on every count]]>Nov 2nd 2008 6:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/western-digital-quietly-intros-wd-tv-hd-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/western-digital-quietly-intros-wd-tv-hd-media-player/Nov 1st 2008 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/western-digital-quietly-intros-wd-tv-hd-media-player/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/01/western-digital-quietly-intros-wd-tv-hd-media-player/
Otherwise, keep these devices coming.
