Conclusion
Overall I would say this product is pretty good, but not as good as I expected. First and foremost, the timeshifting capabilities were very important to me, yet it did not even work correctly. I would state that bundling the personal cinema with a GeForce2 MX card is a downside, but when you look at the price ($199 retail), it's a pretty nice deal. The DVD quality is excellent, and unless you are really a hardcore gamer, the card shouldn't really make much of a difference. Not only that, but it does feature the TwinView feature, which works flawlessly. Although the composite video-in did not fit the consoles I had, as I mentioned before, that won't be an issue for most of you, and other than the consoles, there were no problems. The software bundle is pretty good, especially the digital video editing software which was very easy to use, yet pretty powerful at the same time.
SLRating: 8/10
