Great addition to your HTPC setup

Strengths: Sleek looking, 200 discs, great price

Weakness: Only works with firewire and Windows Media center editions

This is a great thing to add to your HTPC. Using windows media center you can put 200 DVDs in it. It looks beautiful on my AV setup. Sony does make nice looking things. Only bad thing is that you need the correct windows version and a firewire port which many PC don't have it. Wish it uses USB. If you can find the price that I found it for, get it ($99).
