Well I've bid already, not too bothered about winning or losing though.

Great progress this week on moving towards deliveries and mass production…
Together with the Raspberry Pi Foundation we’ve successfully completed compliance testing and certification work for CE, FCC and C-Tick.
This means we are now starting to ship our share of the first 2000 boards that arrived in the UK last week.
We have opened our dedicated Raspberry Pi Store to those lucky people who were first in the registration queue to place their orders.
Now that the Raspberry Pi boards are compliance certified we have triggered our manufacturing processes to move into volume production.
As new batches of Pi’s become available over the coming weeks we’ll be inviting the next in-line into the Raspberry Pi Store to place their orders.
The next batch is already in production so we’re expecting more deliveries shortly and we’ll continue to keep you updated via our regular email and online FAQs.
And while we’ve been compliance-testing the boards, a number of engineers have been road-testing the product! You can see some first reviews of the Raspberry Pi at DesignSpark.com including Raspberry Pi and Custard. As the anticipation continues to build, our Pi Perspectives are getting lots of attention too – these are the views and opinions of leading academics and scientists across industry and education.
With any luck, by the time you read your next weekly update, the first Raspberry Pi’s will be out in the world. Thanks for your continued patience and please rest assured that your Pi will be on its way as soon as we can bake it!

I've gone and bid on a few R.P. on fleabay, no more than £45.00, hopefully I'll get lucky and grab one.

From what i have read,
People using this with XMBC with 1080p and DTS works
But some other people also complain about MKV 1080p and Full 5.1 DTS and slight hickups / stutter,
May be there setup or something, but am tempted with the idea.
My WD TV Live is great
BUT I LOVE THE INTERFACE for the android app to control, play, select tracks on XMBC,
And there is some sweet cases that screw onto the back of your TV making everything completely hidden.

You could just run it through mkv2vob, pain in the ass I know, but it might be worth it for the "experiment"?

install apache, openssl and php, so I can serve my sig images from that and not my noisy PC.
And I have a spare if anyone wants it.
Rab (TheEx1le) is interested. Just give me what I paid for it and it's yours.
