Summary: Too little for too much...
Review: Unless you're a real gadget fiend, save your money and buy and x-box. Doesn't do all of what this thing does, but it fails to do so at about half the price. :) What it DOES do is provide a good chunk of song storage and a digital output, plus you can use it to play games. I'll bet in 4 months somebody will have build a CDDB-capable front end for it as well.
If you *are* a real gadget fiend, just use the money to build a silenced Celeron PC without a monitor for the same cost or less ("Too cheap to display" indeed!) and get the same or better quality with more storage space and greater flexibility. Sure, you'll have trouble finding a black slimline case, but otherwise I don't see much here that you couldn't do yourself.
