This won’t give y ou any flashing lights that you so desparately crave, but fortunately it does seem to bring quite a bit of file compatibility with it, and for a very affordable $100. With every non-MCX extender that comes out for $100 I just dream of what could have been for Media Center Extenders had they not been so absorbantly expensive. *sigh*

That boring black box houses a lot of functionality, including compatibility with oodles of video formats like AVI, WMV9, MKV, Xvid, H.264 — and even RealVideo for some reason (yes, RealNetworks is still around). Music and image formats are equally comprehensive, there’s even subtitle support, and it can all be sent to your HDTV at 1080p over HDMI or Component (check out the outputs after the break). It’ll take media from a USB HDDs, memory cards, and there are plans for a WiFi module in the not too distant future. MSRP is $119, but we’re finding it for around $100, meaning WD’s HD Media Player has a little competition on its hands.
