In terms of Media Extender, it is more a generic network media extender in that it will access a library of files stored elsewhere on your network and play them back to on your TV. You can also use it as your central media "NAS" device as well, as it is networked and has room for up to 2 x SATA HDDs. --2manymp3s-- "Needs support for Sirius and Pandora." The interface of the Popcorn Hour players is open source and as such, people are always developing new applications for it.

While it doesn't seem to have all the HW features of this new Popcorn device (most notably: no WLAN), it works very well, plays almost all media formats and has a much nicer UI than the PS3. What I especially like is the integration with the DVD profiler software.

I have not used a popcorn hour, and use a PS3 for all my media, what is the benefit over the PS3 of the PCH as media player?

Ive seen the Popcorn and MVix USA boxes. This new popcorn item will darn near kill Boxee's idea of making a set top box in the future. Looks sweet with all the on line TV options. IF it has a browser, that would be the killer app! Diggin' it though. Well, I've been using XBMC and Boxee. Ive seen the Popcorn and MVix USA boxes.
