Digital Home Thoughts: WD TV Live Plus Reviewed

"Aside from the addition of Netflix and ISO support, the WD TV Live Plus delivers only the most incremental improvements. Wireless connectivity remains optional; Western Digital continues to show no love for LastFM, Slacker, or Rhapsody; you still can’t rent movies from iTunes or Unbox; and you still can’t access Hulu. We’re also disappointed that the UI still doesn’t inform you of a media file’s codec, bit depth, or sampling rate. Some will dismiss those shortcomings as inconsequential, but we think they’re important enough to withhold our Kick Ass award."

ISO support is pretty cool, this is something I wish the 360 or PS3 would support and to my knowledge natively do not. But as the article points out, still a long way to go until it becomes an uber media box.
