I seriously look at both my WDTV's and my new WDTV Live and I am absolutely blown away that something so small can be so powerful. In all honesty the WDTV is the media device I had always been waiting for. Support for ALL major codecs, a great user interface, and the ability to hook up external hard drives. The WDTV is the dream machine for home entertainment and the WDTV live just upped the bar in a big way as you now have a wireless/network option.
I wont bother going into any details about the WDTV Live as there are already reviews up that do an outstanding job of explaining all the differences between a WDTV and a WDTV Live. I am simply writing this to back up what they have already said, that its the best media player on the market period.
I am actually blown away that there are people giving these devices bad reviews. I have spent well over a thousand dollars trying almost every major media device released over the last 5 years and this device beats every single one of them hands down. The only negative I can think of in regards to this device is the remote. Its too small and not high in quality. I wish they would release a high quality remote that you could buy separately as I would buy it in a heartbeat. I actually wrote Western Digital an email regarding this matter and they replied that it was something the WDTV team was looking at.
The bottom line - With wireless support now included this device has really come full circle. Western Digital has really embodied everything anyone could ever want in a media player and they did it in a tiny device that you can buy for a hundred bucks. There are devices out there that are 2-3 times as expensive that still don't even come close to beating this device. IMO this is basically the iPod of the media player market and like the iPod it just continues to get better and better with each new release.
Most of the products I have given 5 star ratings were really not perfect products. In other words if Amazon had a 1 to 100 percentage based review system, most of the items I gave 5 stars would not get a 100% rating. Most would get anywhere from a 93% to 98% rating. With that being said this would be one of the few items that I would give a perfect 100% score. In other words this is a true 5 star product in every possible way.
