AMEX Digital doesn't seem to have found a gadget that it doesn't like, and it looks like media players are no exception, as evidenced by the company's new Venice V38HD device. Based on Sigma Designs' SMP8635/4 chipset, this one looks to pack just about everything you'd want short of a full-fledged media PC, including a hefty 2TB of storage, support for all the major video codecs, DVD backup / playback (no Blu-ray, though), HDMI output at 1080p, NAS support and other networking options, and your choice of silver or black color options, to name but a few highlights. No word on pricing or availability just yet, unfortunately, but you can at least get a closer look at the port situation after the break.

Not the most attractive piece of kit. What's the UI like?

Let me know when it has a blu-ray drive ...I'm going back to sleep.

Yeah, I'd have to agree that the ugly factor here is off the charts. There's no way that thing is going anywhere near my "piano black" beautiful sammy HT gear.

It does say that it is available in Black.
I like it. Looks like 'Star Trek Chic' to me!

Perhaps more 'Vader Helmet' that 'Star Trek chic' ?
