An excellent point, but I feel the value exchange makes up for that. For some reason, despite the generic box being a fully-capable computer, I feel like the XBox has more home theater functionality than either the generic or the Boxee Box.

Plus, I'd love to one day have the house outfitted with 360's on each TV, to play content from a workhorse media center box with multiple tuners.

However, the flexibility of formats with the Boxee Box is appealing to me...
