Cool gadget, I like the hardware. The speakers are decent for what you can expect and the build quality is nice.
The downfall is the software. It is the most un-intuitive maze of steps just to make albums and directories the way you want. You can use Windows media as well but that is not much better. I want to structure the songs and albums the way *I* want to not the way *they* want me to. I put some songs by the same artist in the same directory and the player INSISTS to throw them all in a big pile in "unknown" VERY annoying. It tries to be smart (just ends up being a pain) realizing that the song may not be in the actual album so it won't let you put it there even if you want it there. Gone are the simple days of drag and drop where you want. Now it is a battle royal just to fight the software to get things the way YOU want them, AAAArrrgh!!
Hardware: 4.5 out of 5 stars. Software and OS: -25 out of 5 stars because it is so damn stubborn and frustrating.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"

"and on a Mission to save the playstation"
You guys actually think Sony would admit that the "Playstation" (wouldn't they just say "PS3"?) NEEDS saving? Jeez, there is one born every minute!
