davidcole: Really? A quick search at the moment had the 32gb for $298 and 64 for $398

My apologies, what I failed to mention was I was basing my statement off the $259 plus their outlandish shipping ($28). Add in the potential for GST/duty/etc (though I don't know if you get hit with that under $400?) and the potential lac of CGA protection etc... I got an email offer from NL for $269 today - I didn't realise this wasn't on their website at that price.

Outlandish shipping cost? Wash your mouth out with soap ! Lol

It needs to be renamed Shipping Cost (including healthy free margin)
Similar to interest free for the $1000 product plus he $50 Admin Fee and $50 Booking fee, (sweet, 10% legal interest rate)

My HTPC died a few months ago and although I detest Apple I went with an ATV4 to replace it.

Plex is great, although it does buffer some of the kids movies, but being able to use apps from different regions is the main reason I bought it. A TVNZ app would be appreciated for the wife to watch Coro St but I don't care about that.

The only doubt I have is whether I should have looked into something else to get Amazon Prime as well, and next seasons EPL could be interesting too.

Yep. I was using HBO Now

How did you pay for it? I thought that unlike Netflix they do not accept NZ credit cards at all?
