- noobnas - 2012-02-29 sorry to ask this question, but i really can't go through reading 27 pages of this thread I really need a player for my kids to watch their videos:- Can the raspberry easily handle all video formats? Can it easily do 1080p? Can it be used as a NAS? thanks again - Jimmer - 2012-02-29 noobnas Wrote:sorry to ask this question, but i really can't go through reading 27 pages of this thread It's an experimental piece of kit, just released and xbmc on it will be buggy to start with. I expect it will require tinkering, bug reporting, generally rolling up your sleeves and getting involved. No offence, but if you can't even be bothered to read the thread then I doubt your ready for the level of commitment this will require to start with! Better to wait for others to test/iron out the bugs for you..... - zag - 2012-02-29 Grabbed mine from Farnell pre order. Latest is they will be shipped on 26th march. - jhsrennie - 2012-02-29 The Raspberry Pi made it to this morning's BBC Radio 4 Today programme! JR - Toontrooper - 2012-02-29 It's confirmed, there out of stock! Just called Farnell after hours of trying to get on the website, only to be told by an automated voice that they are out of stock. - castalla - 2012-02-29 Unbelievable shambles ... trying to register on Farnell's Spanish site ... endless internal server errors Somebody didn't think this one out before pressing the Start button! - noobnas - 2012-02-29 Jimmer Wrote:It's an experimental piece of kit, just released and xbmc on it will be buggy to start with. NONE TAKEN! The thing is Jimmer mate that i've spent a good couple of weeks doing my head in trying to sort out xbmc on my htpc...i eventually got there, thanks to our great friend JHSRennie and others. i am for the moment just enjoying my setup and although it still has few issues to iron out, i'm extremely happy with it. - pumkinut - 2012-02-29 pettergulbra Wrote:I`m not verry good at specs, but I tnink this would be better. Little more expensive, but: The point of the rpi is not about specs. - krish_2k4 - 2012-02-29 PaulC2K Wrote:Got my order in, 90min of f5'ing between pages & order processing £29.46 wtf!

Hope someone here got their hands on one and can put up a cheeky youtube of how xbmc runs! - s7mx1 - 2012-02-29 krish_2k4 Wrote:£29.46 wtf! £21 and 17.5% VAT plus £5 same day shipping. - Jimmer - 2012-02-29 noobnas Wrote:NONE TAKEN! Lol! I'm just narked that I missed out after getting up at an ungodly hour. 5.30am! Jesus wept....... ....still I'm pretty stoked for the guys behind the r-pi, these things are gonna sell like hotcakes. Fair play to Eben and the gang, nice to see a British success story for a change - krish_2k4 - 2012-02-29 s7mx1 Wrote:£21 and 17.5% VAT plus £5 same day shipping. VAT is normally included in the price...and they post i quoted said he had free delivery. - jammyb - 2012-02-29 Plus when did VAT go back to 17.5%?!?! Also. I have one question. You get one, wire up tv, power and keyboard/mouse etc. But how do you switch it on!?!? - krish_2k4 - 2012-02-29 edit: back up on sale http://uk.farnell.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-pcba/sbc-raspberry-pi-model-b/dp/2081185?Ntt=2081185 direct link, also it has already hit ebay... - Toontrooper - 2012-02-29 krish_2k4 Wrote:edit: back up on sale http://uk.farnell.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-pcba/sbc-raspberry-pi-model-b/dp/2081185?Ntt=2081185 Well I've placed my order but not 100% convinced I'll get one.
