ViewSonic VMP70, a classic media player box

In this era of connected video services it might sound curious when ViewSonic comes up with non-connected media player, but look at the number of format supported: ViewSonic mentions MPEG1/2/4, Divx/Xvid, MKV, H.264, VC-1, WMV9, RM/RMVB, WMA, MP3, FLAC, OGG, MKA and there’s even more. The box connects via Component, HDMI, Composite and has an optical digital audio output. You can feed data via two USB ports, and it sounds like the box will upscale the content to 1080p. So, what’s your take? At $130 ($99 during the holiday) is it hot or not? Product page
