Yeah i dont see it listed either and its only 160GB, wasnt there a 500GB one for not much more not so long ago?

divx and xvid are .avi files.
divx and xvid are the codecs use to encode, avi is the container.

That's funny, the remote is almost as large as the drive! Someday soon we're going to see devices smaller than the remotes that control them.

I missed it last time around too, i prefer the smaller one(2.5) and i'd fit all i need on 160 so it's cool, just a pity it has to be powered by AC
