@ Ericko glad you found him, hes a cool guy. �I agree on the graphics part and also ecosystem wise. �Nothing out there beats xbox live at least not yet. �I guess im just tired of baby sitting an xbox. �I mean user experience is brilliant. �But for you not to damage the damn thing u need a UPS, a fan to blow on the heat sinks as well as a solatek guard. If you don't do that you can bet you will have to call Salim or wrap it in a blanket. �My problem is that its delicate. �And I also hate that the powersupply is external makes it hard to carry around. �It should be built into the console. �But on graphics and immersive play you are right! It rocks! �The only thing that beats that are gaming pc's, go figure :-). �I sold mine after i chokad with the TLC required. �I'm now chilling for early adopters to buy the new one with ventilated heat sinks and 250 GB HDD as well as built in wifi. �I will read the reviews and then decide if i want it.

Blueray player out of the box.2.

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Harry Hare <harry(a)africanedevelopment.org> Date: Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 9:21 AM Subject: [kictanet] SA Digital TV standards row rages on To: odhiambo(a)gmail.com Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> Looks like the SA cabinet and the SADC task force have confirmed the Ministry of IC's choice and push for DVB-T2 platform to be correct. I wonder what are possibilities for local assembly of set top boxes and other accessories on this platform are compared to the ISDB-T platform. In this story the promoters of the Japanese standard ISDB-T claim that this platform has more opportunities and potential for the local electronics industry than DVB-T2.
