I just bought one of these from Frys last week. I love the box, although a 750MB upgrade would be nice. I have not opened it up yet, but will probably over the weekend and see what the HD connector looks like.
As for networking, the Series 3 can do the following: 1) I can stream content from my PCs through the Series 3, but not FROM the series 3 to my PCs. 2) You can still get the games, Internet Yahoo goodies etc. through the Series 3.
The box is beautiful, the software rocks as always, and now the HD options make it a compelling box to own.
Once we can expand capacity and move content out of it through the network, it will be a solid 10.
There is much debate over the dominance of HD-DVD vs. Blu ray in the HD movie market. Although the HD-DVD camp will be the first to market with their product, I truly believe content will eventually rule who will win this battle.
And it appears that Sony has lined up 7 of the 8 major US-based studios with the Blu-Ray camp. That alone should give pause to anyone thinking of investing in HD-DVD when it comes out, late again albeit, in June.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
