Stupid question...why don't you just get winavi and make dvds of what you want to watch?

OK...second idea...a second hand Xbox 360...i'm sure it has usb, and then you can just transfer via an external hard drive?
I don't really know anything about XBOX except that it runs Halo. Can it play all the video and audio formats that the Playon!HD supports?
A quick Google tells me that the XBOX will only accept FAT32 drives. WTF?

Fine suggestion, but I don't have a PC at home, except a crappy laptop that is actually supposed to be a work laptop. So this would mean the cost of a decent PC, which is much more than these units cost.
I looked at an Intel Atom setup with XBMC on, but that would mean a bunch of tinkering and about $150, as I have no parts lying around I can use.
The a ...[text shortened]... C Ryan Playon!HD is only $200. No contest really, and I ill be ordering one of these next week.
