I am sick of cinavia owning me on my PS3 so have decided i am going to either buy a rasberry PI for my bedroom and stick XBMC on there and use it as a media centre or i am looking at getting a cheap HTPC and sticking XBMC on there. I will only be using it for watching films/TV shows/ Iplayer / streaming / Occasional browsing

opions on either a rasberry PI or a HTPC ? also could some one spec me a cheap HTPC i dont really want to spend any more than £150-200 if i go down the root of HTPC
 
does the rasberry PI only play mkv's ? ive heard you can buy a mpeg 2 licence which should allow me to play a lot of my content as its .avi/mpeg2

do you have any issues with certain videos that are encoded slightly differently ?
 
Ive just looked at the WD TV live how does this compare tbh it looks pretty good and looks like it would meet my needs
