Looking for a cheapish XBMC machine for my folks.

Looks like a nice little box, although personally I think its a little expensive for what you actually get. Good reviews too.

An alternative you could look at is the Ouya (adverts)

Cheaper with much the same capablity and you get it to boot direct to XBMC with minimal fuss.
