Being the tech bargain shopper that I am, most new release products don’t make it in to my house. I have the means to purchase them, but I’m not a fan of the early adopter premium. There was one product that really piqued my interest at CES this year, the Boxee Box.
For those of you that don’t know what Boxee is, you can find out all about it here. It is by far one of the fullest featured pieces of home theater software for streaming internet content on the market. It’s free, and will run on old hardware to boot.
So what is this Boxee Box that I speak of. Well it’s this great software coupled with set-top hardware supplied by D-Link. It does a lot of cool things that are similar to the Roku HD-XR Player and the newest model Apple TV. For a feature-for-feature comparison there is a great article on newteevee.com.
The reason it came back to the front of my mind was my daily email that I received from resellerratings.com. One of the listing is from Amazon.com about the pre-order Discount of the The Boxee Box for $200US shipped. At nearly double the cost of its nearest competitors it may struggle to compete with the very visible AppleTv.
Sound Off in the lastest poll! Who do you think will reign supreme?
