Advantages: Plays all the content and file types you can throw at it Disadvantages: Plenty of bugs, little firmware updates and the Online Extras are useless

Difficulty in Upgrading and Downgrading Firmware
HDMI issues still (my HDMI decided it would stop working)
Access speeds from USB port to an External usb HDD make high definition content on the hard disk pretty much unplayable.
Power off feature doesnt always switch to full standby more like a hibernate mote
Dispite a couple of firmware updates to do not think Kiss have taken their time with this product. In my opinion this is now very over priced for its age. And looking around you can buy HD media player which is more up to date than the Kiss 600.
At one stage my kiss player failed to load for about a month i tried to downgrade the firmware to reset it did this about 20-30 times then it came back to life.
On the plus side it has played all the media i have - Xvid, Divx, Avi , Mpeg's , Windows media Files. Plays DVD's fine. I still use it today with all the series i have on my hard disk drive - Lost Prison break etc. I use a 200gb external hard drive on this and it plays Standard def files a treat. I would not recommend this for HD content. And the online content features are pointless and i see no point for them.
To sum this up due to its age and price i would not reccommend the KISS DP-600 anymore. You might be able to pick a bargain on Ebay though.
Advantages: Plays Anything, Wireless Streaming, Quick Set up, PC Link Disadvantages: Can't think of any
The Kiss DP-600 is unreal. I have seen negative reviews on this product but I still wen ahead and bought it because I thought even if these reviews were correct that the offering was too good to miss.
The negative reviews stated the following
1) The DVD drive gives out a constant whine that is so loud you can hear it over the TV
2) The PC link software is rubbish it doesn't work and they had to use windows media connect.
3) The box will crash ... ...to 2
I had my Kiss DP-600 up and running and streaming content from my PC Over wireless using PC link in under 10 minuts. It was very easy I didn't even read the instructions. If you are having problems with PC Link download the latest version from the Kiss site and make sure that your firewall is not blocking it. If you are using Win XP SP2 remember that windows firewall is on by default.
In answer to 3
This box has played everything that I have ...
