V2 Extenders spotted in the wild!

 Microsoft’s Eric Anderson blabs (and I mean that in a good way):

It’s no secret that there’s a new version of Media Center Extender that will be shipping soon (codenamed Pika). I just started using a prototype device at home, and I have to say that I’m pretty impressed so far.

I’d trade at least one pint of blood, and maybe two or three, for a crack at these.

I would give my right arm!

Are they fanless??

Local DVD playback?

Built into LCD/PLAZMA?

There is a rumor the Core Xbox360 is being discontinued. Assuming this is true, any thoughts on whether I should pick one of these up to work as an extender or wait for the Pika devices?

Aaron, I wouldn’t buy an Xbox 360 as an extender right now. I would prefer to wait until the Pika details are out.
