This box has

• 3D Blu Ray player
• Dual HD tuner with 500Gb Hard Disk
• Apps selection including Plex and Netflix (if you have a VPN service like UnblockUS)
• Lots of other applications like Youtube and facebook
• excellent presentation and easy to use with high wife acceptance factor

Originally released on the market for $499. JB and others have this on sale at the moment for $318.40. Normal street price is around the $400 - $420 mark.

I think this box offers an excellent media experience especially when you use this with Plex (a media server). Easy to use, nothing to configure and it just works. For a little over $300 it's a bargain (in my opinion)..

  Don't like using plex through bluray players. They all have cinavia protection. Really glad it's not in their TVs

  Have to really want it for an all-in-one device.

  $140 currently for normal 3d bluray player (samsung) + WD TV for about $134 currently is the same for $276 combined. Obviously no tuner or inbuilt hdd. But those are regular prices right now.

  Add to that that I'm sure many people have ps3s and ps4s

    You make a valid point but you haven't factored in that this thing is also a dual tuner PVR with a 500GB drive. There's also the convenience of having one remote that does everything.

        You mentioned it but seemed to disregard it :)

        An additional $318-276=$42 to your price for a twin HD tuner with 500GB is a great deal. Having it all integrated in one unit that is easy to use, rather than 3 separate units with 3 remotes + wires is a bonus.

        make that 1 remote as most OZb seem to have a logitech harmony 650 these days… but to be fair that will be 4 remotes.. 3 original + 1 logitech.

  I found the same model online at 2nds World for $199 + postage for a refurbished model with 12 month warranty:
