    Because what you really want is a $300 device that connects to your TV and displays pictures. If you're still listening, and I'm sure Sony hopes you are, know that the HDPS-L1 will output JPEG or RAW files at 720p over its component output (what, no 1080p or HDMI Sony?), either from the 80GB hard drive or various flash media cards. Just to top things off, it has preinstalled background music and slideshows that must be quite enthralling.Honestly, we're not sure exactly how to take this thing. $300 for a card reader when we could spend the same $300 on an Xbox 360 Core system, stream the photos from a PC AND play videogames
