I know these are pretty different products from a price point standpoint.
I'd like to know from a features standpoint what I would be missing out on by not going with one product or the other.
I primarily want an easy to use media server. Wireless would be ideal, but from all I ready may not be ready for prime time.
What are the key differentiators between these products?
I know PS3 can do games and BD. However, it can't stream the new lossless HD audio streams. Also, I've heard of some media format compatibility issues.
Popcorn hour can't do BD or games, but seems to be a good media steamer, and it handles many codecs.
WD MY HD is similar to popcorn hour, but lacks ability to stream HULU and Netflix. Also it's unable to stream 5.1 audio.
I'd really like to know how the interfaces stack up since having lots of content, 1000's of mp3s and 1000's of pictures would be difficult to manage with with a bad interface.
Also level of media compatibility is important to keep from having to reencode
stuff.
Any input would be appreciated.
