I've bought three of Viewsonic's VMP75s (http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-NexTV-VMP75-Network-Player/d...) and couldn't be happier. There are a few complaints in the reviews, especially regarding the UI, but most of these have been fixed by the latest firmware. The support for various container formats and codecs is excellent; the one feature it lacks that the WDTV supports is Pandora.

Interesting, thanks! This box looks so much slicker than the WDTV too. Since I watch quite a few foreign movies, one of the useful features with XBMC is the ability to adjust the subtitle display (add delay or speed it up by a couple of seconds) and also the ability to browse and pick a subtitle. I am curious if either WD or VMP has any additional options with subtitles. It is not a game-stopper by any means but I am still trying to decide whether to go with an XBMC capable box or these options which are also much cheaper.
