Nice to hear NFS, SMB, etc. are working. I'm probably going to go ahead and pick one up for the bedroom. I was not happy with the menu lag on Apple TV 2. Just too slow for me still (though noticeably better than the first gen Pivos XIOS) boxes. No DTS passthrough of kind of sad, but not a dealbreaker if it's not hooked up to a receiver anyway. I have a feeling the Fire TV is going to be a pretty good XBMC box down the road. That CPU & RAM will make the user interface much more friendly to navigate. I'm still sticking with my Acer Revo in the main room though, I need DTS Passthrough there. I wish somebody would make a box with specs like this AND have DTS & DD passthrough support. I was excited about seeing the TOSlink on FireTV as not everybody has a receiver that supports HDMI.

I think the new minix x8 with the amlogic s802 chip and tronsmart vega are what you may be looking for. A box with super graphics I understand and dd and dts pass through.
I like the amazon fire just a pain to load Xbmc on it.
