A Couple days ago, I got email from Boxee.tv. They said now you can pre-order a Boxee Box that launched on 10th November. After a quick jump on the link, I didn’t see my country there. Well, maybe I have to be patients. Mean while, I can try the Linux version of Boxee installed on my laptop.

I quite impressed with the menu. Straigh to the point, simple and easy to navigate. Oh god, I really want that box. (drool).

Already included on the box are The Boxee Box, 1x HDMI Cable, 1x Power Cable and Remote Control with Qwerty Keypad.
