Samsung's MediaLive Digital Media Adapter really coming soon?

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 19th 2008 at 11:51AM

Hey, Sammy -- bet you thought we forgot about that little MediaLive Digital Media Adapter of yours, huh? For everyone that had, let us bring you back up to speed. After launching under a different name at CES 2008, this puppy was officially revealed in the summer. Unfortunately, the supposed August ship date has come and gone, and it doesn't seem like too many folks are up in arms about it. Nevertheless, the obviously delayed Media Center Extender has finally found itself a holding page over at Best Buy, where's it's listed in detail for $199.99. The "Coming Soon" bit doesn't really give us much to go on, but we'd suspect Samsung would want to get this out before the holiday shopping season kicks into high gear. Now would also be a wonderful time to shave $50+ off of the MSRP in order to make folks care once more -- just sayin', is all.

[Thanks, Lindsay]

I saw this at CES and it was nice how this works with the Samsung remote and mounts on the back of the televsion. Which means you will not see it. I hope it is launched soon.

I saw this device at CEDIA this year and it worked great. The colors were right on and like you said it's nice to be able to just hide it behind the tv. They Samsung rep said it would be releasing this year.
