Western Digital TV Live Plus Media Player

Wait a minutehavent we heard of all this already? Well, sure, Western Digital did release the WDTV Live in late 2009, so this new player must be a tremendous upgraded in hardware technology, right? Well, actually, the WDTV Live PLUS has the same Sigma 865x chipset used in the old Live, and Western Digital says it plays the same types of media files and codecs that the older version does. The new Live PLUS retails for $119.99 which is only a bit higher than what it costs you to get its $104.99 older brother. The retail box has been updated slightly to highlight the WDTV Live Plus’s ability to stream online content.
