My 1st Gen Sony GTV device (inte) is a great Netflix and Plex box. It direct plays everything. It doesn't do HD audio but it does DTS, DD+, and DD. Sadly, Google, Intel, and Sony are jerks and it will never get an update again. So no XBMC and no Amazon app (no hardware DRM like 2nd gen)
My 2nd Gen Sony GTV device is an ok Plex box. It's Netflix app still doesn't support profiles (WTF!). Still waiting on an update to use XBMC (hopefully). But the arm chipset does what arm chipset do... shit the bed on certain blu ray rips unlike intel chipset. Of course Plex is a picky bastard about what direct plays, even if the codec is supported in hardware. This box has potential, but not like the 1st gen boxes.
