I have been awaiting the release of the new popcorn hour networked media tank with much anticipation for many weeks. It promises to be a fantastic little player, highly capable of playing any digital content you can throw at it including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H-264, XVID, WMV, WMA, MP3, FLAC, AAC. The C-200 has a spare 3.5 inch drive bay for either a hot swap HDD caddy or a blu-ray drive. HDMI v1.3 is fully supported making this the best equipped networked media tank available.

A few sites have started to take pre-orders on the C-200, which is due for release on the 31st August. Scan and eXpansys currently have it for sale in the UK.

More information can be found on the Popcorn Hour website.
