    I was just browsing Newegg and I came across this. Its a Divx player with a Removable 250 GB HDD have you guys seen this before??













    This may be my next move but for now Im completely happy with my DVP5982, but if it breaks or I get sick of it I think I want this

    Seems to be a very novel device.
    Not very highly reviewed though, due to quality issues. I would really be hesitant about ordering.

    I just started reading those reviews myself, I think one of the reviews says it best "In general, the idea was good, but poorly executed." I have been having an issue with my HDD getting hot when I watch a movie from it also. I think I might just pick up an 8gig Flash drive or maybe even one of those big ones

    While the idea of a DVD player with a USB port is a nice idea, I like my Dlink DSM320 media player better.

    It's connected to my wireless network and includes a remote. I simply place downloaded movies/TV shows/music/photos into my
    Media Server folder and view/listen to them on my TV.

    I've got a Philips DVP642 but why waste blank DVDs(and my time) when I can view/listen to any media stored on my computer with the click of the remote?

    It's too expensive and the drive could be shit.

    While the drive could be used anywhere, the DVD player looks proprietary to the drive.

    I mean the DVP5982 is at the most, $70, and a 500 gig drive can be had for $80-$100 if you shop. The 5982 is more versatile with the USB port imo.

    Good find though.
