>>Yes these may be a littler expensive, but they give everything to the user. No need for a learning curve here.
Maybe the Android/PC stick and the Ras Pi are intended for different markets?

Because the Rasp has hardware decoding out of the box.
Xbmc runs great on the Rasp, and has played every video I have thrown at it...It also streams with no issue at all...
For the price,...

you're not limited to android, you don't have to pay 9 dollars for a case and chances are you have a power cable already. $45 dollars for what it is and what it does seems very very reasonable.

MCM is part of Premier Farnell, which has a global contract with UPS (think Boeing, Ingram, etc).
I seriously doubt their actual cost is more than $4-5 to ship a Rasp anywhere in the US.
