is what im looking to get, I cant stand the sight of the dvd case so im looking at loading all my dvd's/blue rays onto the external hard drive and then can play then direct via the media player as it will just plug into the tv via hdmi.

Question is how many blue rays will i get on a 2tb hard drive? and normal dvd's?

Also saves having to stream the 360 or play them on the ps3 meaning the ps3 can be sold. thus the above will pay for itself.

Anyone else use these? they good quality or just s**t.

Couple of mates have these media players and they love them, however they do struggle to play some particular downloaded mkv files.

...so it's basically an external hard drive?

I'm going to buy an external hd from amazon, 1tb, £60, looks nice too. Compress the dvds and you'll fit loads on there.
