The U.S advertised price is US$330 converted to $AUD that's around $350 at today's exchange rate. Seems expensive compared to the Linksys DMA 2100 which can be picked up for around $240. - can it do anything the Linksys can't do other than provide a USB port?. I don't think that's worth $100 extra. Also the Linksys outputs at 1080p whereas the DLINK only does 1080i

Do they have a model that also plays DVDs? (Incidentally does it irritate anyone other than me that the Linksys DMA2200 doesn't remember where you stopped a DVD if you power it off? You have to start from the beginning and fast forward. Even a $50 player from Target does that. Otherwise it's a cool piece of technology.)

I'd love to hear of someone's experiences about the DLINK.
