Boxee Box. A few kinks here and there, buy I'm loving it so far. And the Boxee developers have been great in the past at listening to the community so I'm sure they are hard at work at releasing an update resolving some of the issues.

Crazy month and I have GT5 to come!

Got this from Disney Movie Rewards for $59.99 (+ shipping). Will most likely be a gift for the FIL.

Got the exact same Blu-Ray player at the beginning of the month, but I forgot to take a picture of it. :lol

Bought it so I wouldn't have to use the PS3. Though I'm a little disappointed that it's not wifi out of the box and that I have to purchase the Sony specific USB wireless dongle thing. But with my Boxee, I don't think I would have used it to check out YouTube videos and such too often anyways.

I'm looking into purchasing the 370 (wife and I really don't care about 3d) and I'm curious how the Netflix interface is. I see everywhere that it's Instant Queue only, but how does it perform. Any details?

I'd love to give you details, but unfortunately we don't even get the Netflix service in Australia. :(

This one is going to be a gift so it remains sealed. Looking for some reviews I found this:

"The overall Netflix interface is aesthetically similar to the new PS3 Netflix interface, with cover art 6x3 across the screen. Unlike the PS3 and the Apple TV, there is no way to search to find new content. You need to log into Netflix from a web browser to add titles to your Instant Queue, which then show up on the BDP-S470. This is the case with pretty much every Blu-ray player, unfortunately. Thankfully there doesn't seem to be any trace of the chroma upsampling error (the so-called Chroma Bug) like what we found with the Panasonic Blu-ray 3D player. Overall Netflix video quality is average. Not quite as sharp as some other devices, but not as soft or as noisy as others."

This review was from earlier in the year so I'm not sure if any firmware upgrades may have changed it in any way.

Thanks for looking it up, but I assumed exactly the same. Firmware could have changed a bunch, and nobody seems to have very up to date reviews up. I might just have to bite the bullet. After all, how hard is it to add things to queue on the PC anyway.

Damn this month is rough on my gaming wallet...GT5 Special Edition, DKCR and Mario vs Donkey Kong...

I also have the standard GT5, but I likes the packaging of the SE :) so I'll give the standard one to my friend. Also most got the Signiture edition but a keychain, Waller and a car model and useless to me...plus it was double the price.

btw, sig edition extra cars, are those exclusive or can we purchase them from from the PSstore?

The jokers at Royal Mail decided not to deliver GT5 today either, so in the meantime I went and bought another copy elsewhere. Loving it! <3
Also, I'm a regular GamesTM reader, but this is the first issue of my subscription which I finally got round to setting up :)

Yeah, it's pretty cool. Too bad you can't change language settings/keyboard.

Just got GT5 a few minutes ago, thanks Amazon.
and my new G2 which I got a week ago to replace the crappy Nokia I got for free when I signed up for T-Mobile a couple of years ago.

I've never posted in these threads before, might as well do it now!

I'm a bit late on getting Bayonetta... but I ran into a deal that I couldn't pass up on gamefly.. so I bought it. I'll play New Vegas after the next patch. I'm a bit worried that I'll have the same problem my brother did with the game so I'll wait. Enslaved... is the $25 Amazon deal a few days ago.

Fable III is too short and easy. I don't care for it very much. I hope Fable 4 is better...
