I think it's cool...

It's definitely not a box you'd hide behind a smoked glass door in the entertainment center

At that price point I could be persuaded to switch to it if the performance is as good as it promises to be.

Anyone surprised that it doesn't include a DVD drive? True, lacking a drive provides elegance and simplicity, but a home theater system without a DVD player seems lacking.

Perhaps it's b/c of Boxee's history of having trouble playing DVD's?

Most HTPC-type devices do not include one:
Roku
ATV
Neuros LINK
Media Center Extenders

Think physical media is on it's way out, personally.
