Marshal’s new media drive is no laughing matter, plays Blu-ray and DVD ISOs

Yes, it’s just a hard drive that plays 1080p content, but this one can connect to your PS3; according to some machine translated Japanese, Marshal’s new “Media Joker” can also act as an external hard drive for your Sony game console or a Toshiba REGZA TV. While you won’t be able to install games on the up-to-2TB hard drive that you’ll provide yourself, the black box can notably play Blu-ray ISOs — though that, the company carefully cautions, will surely void your warranty. The case admirably provides most all ports you could want, including component, composite, both flavors of S/PDIF, HDMI 1.3, LAN, an SD card slot and a pair of USB sockets, and supports a host of audiovisual formats, the full list available at the more coverage link. Find it retailing for ¥16,800 (about $184) this Saturday in some neon-lit corner of Japan.
