I use a PS3 for the above, including CD, DVD (not sure about region
encoding) and Blu-ray. There is a bluetooth remote for video playback.
Does web browsing as well (though some sites don't work so well). It's
not the quietest thing ever, but I've found it quiet enough.
Cheapness is relative. I've never used xbmc (or XBox/Wii), so can't
compare it to them. I've also never used it on an SD TV.
