It's all about the User Interface.
If it doesn't have / can't be modded with an xmbc-like UI, then it's basically crap.

No, it is crap for you. Do not dare to speak for me.
And is is not "all about the User Interface". It IS all about the PQ, codec/container support and ease of use. XMBC is all about eye-candy and fluff.

PQ and Codec/Container support is assumed to be there, these days almost all the streamers play everything. Ease of Use and a good UI goes hand in hand IMO.

Seems like it wont support HD Audio which is a little disappointing.

Anyone have any idea how this Asus box compares to the upcoming Netgear media streamer?
netgear.com/products/home/hometheater/media-players/NTV550.aspx
I thought the Netgear was the only one (under $300) capable of playing blu-ray iso files, but from what the Asus site indicates, this box does so as well?
