Digital Media Player Guide Review - Patriot Box Office 1080P High Definition Media Player

By Shawn Scott

Released by Patriot Memory on November 10, 2009, the Patriot Box Office 1080P HD Media Player is one of the most exciting media players to hit the market this year. Unleash all the power of your media on your home theater system. Enjoy your True HD 1080p media streamed from your desktop to your living room. Right out of the box, the Patriot Media Player is easy to set-up and will offer compatibility with most systems out there, including offering compatibility with Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox.

The Patriot Box Office HD offers some great functionality and is priced at only $129.99. You really are getting a lot for your money here. One unique thing that the Patriot Media Player offers is a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive slot that is compatible with any SSD/HDD. So as your media library continues to grow, you can add an internal hard drive to accommodate. The Patriot Box Office 1080p High Definition Media Player doesn't come with any internal storage capacity, but it is nice to know that it could be added if you so choose.

Some people may choose to only use it as streaming HD media player, and that is fine, but the Patriot Box Office Wireless G USB Adapter is also available on Amazon. Another feature that jumps out is that this digital media player has lots of plugs and will work with any USB mass storage device. The Patriot Media Player comes with three USB 2.0 ports to accommodate more than one drive or peripheral. Also, the Patriot Box Office includes Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound processors providing 5.1 and 7.1 channel surround sound through your home entertainment system.

Amazon is offering this rebate: Save $30 by mail when you Pre-order the Patriot Box Office HD 1080p by November 31, 2009. Add the Patriot Wireless G USB Adapter on the same order and get the WiFi adapter free!
