To put it in the lingo of the kids these days, the FireBall DVDM-300 is crazy mad cool (ok, I don't know how the kids talk). Translation -I was completely blown away by this box. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it for everyone? Probably not 舰 though I don't know a single person that wouldn't want one. For the serious videoholics that are considering an addition onto their house for storing their movies, the Escient FireBall DVDM-300 is a serious contender and perhaps more cost efficient than other solutions (including high-quality, high WAF storage furniture). No more worries or scratched discs. No more searching your shelves for the right movie. Plus, the convenience 舰 I can't explain how much easier it is to manage your movies this way. The minute I loaded only 20 movies into the 400-disc changer, I forgot what I had loaded. Keeping a pencil and paper list or spreadsheet sounds more like a punishment than a convenience. The FireBall makes such headaches a thing of the past. If you've got the money, and more importantly the MOVIES, this product makes life a WHOLE lot easier for you. The Escient FireBall DVDM-300 does things you didn't know you needed - but once you have them, you'll wonder what you ever did before.

A quick note about the Value rating on this product: For not a few of us, this product may seem way out of a price range. The fact is, this is a specialty niche product that is really targeted towards custom home theater installers. When viewing the product in this light, its value rating takes on new meaning. The fact that the Escient can be accessed from off-site alone gives the custom installer an unparalleled ability to service their clients. Add to that the nearly bulletproof and intuitive nature of the interface, and it is hard to say that the Escient is anything but a stellar value.
