- AIOS HD Media Center Device for $90
This device plays digital media files on your television.
It's just another device to enter the market with the likes of Patriot Box, Apple TV, WD TV Live, Seagate FreeAgent Theater, and others.
Unlike this others, this one has a built-in Gigabit network port (no built-in wifi), has a flash memory card reader, USB3.0 port, and you can install a 3.5" Serial-ATA hard drive inside.
Also supports 5.1 and 7.1 audio to your A/V Receiver.
It's strictly a video & audio player (no Netflix streaming video).
The specs are great compared to the others, but the reviews are not as good as we would hope to see.
Even still, if you're looking for a dedicated device to play a library of video and audio files, this device should be worth looking at.
If you already have a laptop computer and don't need surroundsound, you could just hook your laptop's video output and stereo audio output into your HDTV whenever you want to play anything (local files or streaming).

These deals are available to US customers from Amazon's UK website.
The following Blu-Ray Sets listed below are "region free" meaning they will play in just about any Blu-Ray Player in the world (including players in the USA).
It is important to buy "region free" Blu-Rays when shopping overseas, since discs that are region encoded will not play in most players purchased in the USA.
Prices shown on amazon.co.uk are in Britich Pounds, which today converts to about $1.56 for each £1.00.
The prices shown on Amazon.co.uk include 18% VAT (tax), which is waived on the final checkout page after selecting a mailing address in the USA.
Planet Earth: Complete BBC Series on Blu-Ray for about $22.17.
Price is £13.47, which changes to £11.23 after automatic VAT discount during checkout, plus £3 shipping comes to about £14.31.
A hot deal at about $22.17, since it sells in the US for around $48.

It's £32.30 (GBP), or £26.92 after automatic VAT discount during checkout, plus £3 shipping comes to about £30.

Even with a region-free disc, it may have trouble playing in some game console players.
So you are saving a ton of money by buying these Blu-Rays from England, but this is a little risky.
