Comment I'd gladly pay for Media Center (Score 1) 734
I'd pay for it if it works as a well integrated alternative to XBMC or iRiver or similar. If it can produce an eye pleasing htpc experience, and pull movie and tv show profiles from open databases, support many codecs and has well support for Logitech Harmony and other remotes, then sure, I'd pay a bit for it.
With the closed nature of the Boxee Box, I have urges to move to an HTPC with a quick interface, lots of eye candy and the ability to pull info from the TV DB and open movie DB.
