  Good deal. Ext HDD worth about $60 on its own anyway. Twin HD PVR + BD for $500~ is pretty sweet.

  Could replace the following devices: VHS, DVD player, Blu-ray player, HD set-top-box.

    according to the website it is a "Supa Buy" (green arrow) which is "Brand new appliances straight from the manufacturer at very competitive prices." as opposed to refurbished or carton damaged, etc

    edit: beaten!

  I think PVR is still overpriced. They sell at that price because they can. Not because it is worth that much. Consider buying a PS3 and playtv.

    If the PS3 had inbuilt playtv tuner it would be an ultimate media centre

    The LG (or at least, the BD-370) could play 1080p MKV straight off a USB stick. No problem at all, fast forward and subtitles supported too.

    Of course the interface was simple and doesn't compare to a media centre but that did impress me a few years back when devices playing native MKVs were quite rare.
