The new Sony VAIO XL1 Digital Living System ($2,300 direct) is the first Media Center PC we know of that uses the new Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. What does that mean to you? First of all, it can replace your TiVo, CD changer, DVD player/changer, DVD recorder, and more. If that isn't enough, the system comes with a 200-disc changer. Load 200 CDs, click rip, and in a few hours (well, maybe overnight) you will have a complete MP3 library assembled for you. Better still, the system lets you load as many as 200 DVDs, giving you own personal video on demand service without ever having to pull a disc off the shelf. It even lets you burn DVDs of your favorite TV shows, after you have downloaded them from a legal service provider of course, so they don't clog up all you hard disk space. Oh, and it looks like a Sony. Very nice. Read the full hands-on review here.
