"We believe Farnell has sold out already. Blimey."

How this even happened is beyond me.

It really was a colossal cock-up on the part of the distributors. Both failed to keep up with their traffic, but more damning is the fact that RS only offered people the opportunity to "register interest" and Farnell completely ignored the one-per-person rule that was established way before the launch. One prick on the irc channel who posted his invoice had bought six of them.

Is anybody looking to use these as emulator boxes? I'm hoping to get one of these running (S)NES, Genesis and PSX emulators. Are there currently any good front-ends for Linux that boot directly into a 10ft UI for good navigation?

PSX is probably a bit ambitious, but the rest would be fantastic.

Pretty bizarre seeing as you could get a new ATV2 for the same price.
