    Just saw this and it looks like its just a live with built in Hard Disc. Im just curious and wondering if it would have the same mp4 sync issues as the live/gen 2.

    It says "DVD navigation with complete menu navigation, chapter listings, special features, and subtitles" This is not on the Gen 2 so i guess its got better firmware!

    I guess we can expect a WD Elements Play Live next. No wonder WD dont offer very good firmware support if they are busy with all these new things!

    They must of based the firmware development for this one on the live due to the bugs in the gen 2 and just stripped the networking stuff, other features seem to match.

    Here are my thoughts on it:

    Good:

    Hopefully they would of fixed any sync issues?????

    Bad:

    I think i would just prefer a live with a 1tb passport. The passport can then be used for other stuff and also we know B-Rad is working on the live. I doubt he will make a CF for this.

    What does everyone else think?

    Its true, if WD cant firmware suport the products they have released then i dont intend to get another WD media player.

    I can see the HMDI logo on the back and its on the box so it must suport that

    I guess it must contain a 3.5 inch drive.

    Anyway it wont get moviesheets and i am loving them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
