$300, and all it will play is media I bought from Google and YouTube? Seriously? I can get the tablet and an HDMI cable for $80 less and play everything.
Wrong. It will play all of your music, and all of your friends' music, that's stored in Google Music, which is a free service for the first 20000 items.
Yeah, but any stereo system with A2DP does that for me already. You can get a good A2DP adapter for the media system you already have for $30.
So will the tablet. He's not wrong.
No. The tablet will NOT play all of your friends' music. Only the accounts that are linked to the tablet.
Yeah that one feature is worth an extra $200-$240 alright.
I agree it's too much. It's got to be the amplifier that's pushing the price up so far right? I'm not sure what else it has that the other boxes don't.
I guess that must be it. I'd actually pay $100 for this without the amplifier and just an audio output I can plug into the speaker system I already have. Who is buying this product that doesn't already have an amp?
With Plex or XBMC you can stream all your personal media off your local network
