Re: best HD media player to replace xbmc

[Wayne <Wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What's your overall impression of the Mac Mini's now? I guess you have
Plex on it or have you gone native ?

And what are you using for the HD content? (or have you got a blu-ray
player for it?)

We've been bitten with the Mac bug at the office and I've been toying
with getting one for the house but I'm holding out for (hopefully) one
with a Blu-Ray player in it.
Oh and if I can find a 'digi box' type thing I could plug into it I
could do away with that too!

Cheers.
Wayne.
