If the Boxee Box’s $349 RRP was putting you off, D-Link Australia has just confirmed that they’ve managed to come to an agreement with retailers to cut the RRP to $299 when it launches mid-November. Awesome. [Boxee]

Thursday, October 14, 2010 at 2:12 PMConsidering they’ve got an Australian product site set up, it’s disappointing that they’re still promoting “over 40,000 TV episodes from your favorite networks instantly available” and then relying on the “some content may not be viewable in your local region” fine print crutch, rather than giving us even a vague estimate of what Aussie users might reasonably be able to access.
If they’re going to promote the product as a service as much as a piece of hardware, I expect to be given some understanding of what that service actually includes.

The whole point of this device is to stream programs on demand. No way I’m going to pay $300 until I know exactly what those programs actually are. I just wish we could get Netflix :(

Thursday, October 14, 2010 at 11:15 PMWell I’m happy with the price cut… I thought that the original pricing was just way out there and spoke out against it but this shows that the D-Link management does listen to the public which is always a good thing. Well done, you’ll be getting my pre-order soon… :)

Friday, October 15, 2010 at 7:32 AMConsidering that it is $199 USD and the exchange rate is nearly 1:1 I don’t get why it is still this expensive? Is it not cheaper to ship from china to Australia that to USA ?
I know people who would buy it if it were 229 or so, not 299 or 349.
Another case of Aussie screw…

Hey – off topic slightly…anyone know of a good HDMI converter? – its HDMI out only and my old DLP only has DB15.
THX!
