Highly Ranked

Man, I had such high hopes for these things, but no luck. Functionally, they seem to be all there, but the price begs the question, why not the xbox 360 for the same $350? These need to be $250 and $199 at most (maybe in a year). I think this is a good summary from the engadget post comments...

Media Extender:
Small/silent
Divx/xvid?
Cons:
Price
Vista Only?

X-box 360:
Same price as D-link, $350
Plays Games
20GB HD
Downloadable HD content
Cons:
Not Silent
Does not play Divx/xvid and other advanced formats w/o transcoding?

I don't own an Xbox, is there anything on the list I'm missing?

Maybe I'll change my mind when I use it at digital life in a couple days.
