PS: If you're not familiar with NewEgg they are a very reputable computer parts supplier. I have been ordering hardware from them for about 10 years now and exceptional service. Fast shipping. Even returned and exchanged a few items, no hassles
FYI - NewEgg is having a 72 hr sale on all hard drives, 10% off and free shipping. Oddly enough this includes the Western Digital media player. Regular price $109, on sale for $99 with free shipping, then use promo code and it's $89. It's not a hard drive, in fact requires an external USB hard drive or flash drive, but it's lumped into the HD category at NewEgg. I've seen this on sale in stores on occasion for $99, plus tax so $89 shipped (no tax) is a good deal. This allows you to play digital media (downloaded movies) directly on your tv, NO COMPUTER REQUIRED. Just connect a high capacity USB flash drive or external USB hard drive. It has HDMI, composite video (single rca connector), and digital optical audio output.
