I reckon, given the current debacle that is my Philips PF9986 Component input, I’d be up for buying a mini. If I had the money. Of course, I’d also have to buy a DVI switch box which would add even more money. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your perspective) I don’t have the money for either. 🙂

The 360 is hopeless as a media center because it limits you on the formats you can view (transcode 360 is hopeless). XBMC is still the king, but it can’t output over VGA or DVI and my TV currently has issues with component, even though component supposed to be fully supported!

Yes. I’d go for it. 🙂

PS. It does support a remote control right?
