Looking for media player to replace PS3

[Thommo14]

I'm looking to purchase a media player to replace my PS3 that can handle video formats such as mp4, avi, mkv. I'm looking for something with a hard disk and HDMI output (I'm not interested in the HTPC route). Oh, and a remote control would be preferred.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers,
T

Do a google search for western digital media player.

Thanks. WD Elements Play has the hard disk, but Amazon don't have any, and the WD Store is out of stock too. Hmm.

Look for the hub model from wd. That either has a harddrive built in or it has the ports to put your own harddrive in, can't remember which.

In either case if you can't get one with the internal bay just remember that any of the wdtv models do hook up to usb drives without a problem.

Edit - here's a link:

I believe there are different models of the hub available, not just the one I linked too.

SOrry i don't know if this is discontinued from wdtvs current lineup or not. I just remember reading about this awhile back.
