      Also states quote:"Printed for 15/12/11. Prices may change after the catalogue has been printed."

      The deal is fresh, probably be able to pop by the store and ask.

    When I add it to the shopping cart it comes up as $119, but when I click <Go to checkout> it changes to $144. I saw it in their catalogue today for $135.

    Will get this if it can play higher bitrate 1080p footage than all previous models. Anyone know if this can play higher footage.

    I got one when Dick Smith had them on sale. They will play 1080p but only on ethernet. Tried wireless and video stalls about 5 seconds in. Good device for the money.

      Make sure you have a 802.11n network for wifi. I had no such problems with a 1080p MKV.

        Mine plays 20gig MKV over Ethernet but shags out over wifi even with my dualband netgear N 300m router only 4 meters + wall. Real world wifi speeds don't come close to their so called wireless speeds. End result is watching high bitrate HD over wifi is like trying to push Lego through a straw

    Will this work on 5GHz wifi or only 2.4?

    In my experience the earlier WDTV would not play files downloaded using iview napper without a remux due to the variable frame rates, which is painful if you have to do it on every file. Better off with a cheap HTPC with XBMC or similar that does a lot more for only a little more. See my forum post for what I did.

      I really don't see how HTPC's are comparable.

      One can fit in a large pocket, one can't.

        i have both and they complement each other, WD in the bedroom and HTPC with 4 tuners + Austar recording in living room, all my iview rips are transcoded by the HTPC and play perfectly on my WDlive

          Don't you find i-view to be too low quality?

    got one of these and they're great, has played everything i've thrown at it. I paid $137 and would gladly pay that much again, so for this price it gets a +ve vote from me :)

    Has anyone tried to get it with the receipts from this thread for $84.50
    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/58134

    The receipts are over two weeks old, they might not accept the price match now. Anyone willing to try. Here is a link to both receipts

    If you get it for this price or close please post a scan or photo of your receipt. If no one does it by Tuesday I'll try and go into OfficeWorks with the two scans above and hope they don't worry about the date and will post a scan of my recipt.
