Egreat U8 Media Player

[SamWill]

I am looking to get a XBMC media player or try and build my own. I see Kalahari is selling the above http://www.kalahari.com/Electronics/Egreat-U8-Media-Player-Android-4-2_p_48144247

Has anyone used this or might have recommendation for something similar? Similar price range of less would be great.

I do have a PS3 but don't like the interface as being used as a media player.

Thanks

The Amlogic dual core processors apparently have the best graphics hardware support for XBMC currently. These two models are available locally. The DroidTV is very similar to the G-Box Midnight MX2 which is considered to be one of the best android players for XBMC currently.

I have a gbox midnight, have not been too impressed with it, especially when feeding it HD content that my Pi decoded without breaking a sweat. May not be the MX2, though.
