How would you like one box next to your TV to do it all?
A Digital VCR. DVD player VCD player DiVX player Surf the web Digi TV MP3 player Games
What else would You like?
If you could get such a dream box, how much would you pay for it?

Did you read about the Homestation that Microsoft appear to be developing - they haven`t confirmed it as they want xbox to fly first, but it sounds close to what you were looking for. I suspect they`d be supporting WMA and not MP3, but for the storage saving I`d do that too...
I would not want one. Lets say The vcr goes down I am then with out all the other bits while it is repaired. All so at times I like to play my games at the same time as I listen to CDs so the box would have to have 2 drives.
It`s not for me. Yet.
All the best,
Andrew.

well, i my self play games on line, listen to music while keeping an eye on ICQ, all with DVD drive in my PC.
Point about the VCR going down is a valid one, but what if your TV packs in?
