Raspberry Pi XBMC Home Theater Kit with Model B, Power Supply, HDMI Cable. Ethernet Cable, WiPi and SD Card with XBMC

The raspberry it's a tiny computer and it's great to teach the basics of computer science. I'm a profesor and i can use the raspberry to give my students a cheap and easy to use altrnative to learn open software and hardware. Great!

This seems like a huge ripoff. You can get everything but the ethernet cable with the http://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Complete-Original-Preloaded/dp/B008XVAVAW/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1415207963&sr=1-3&keywords=raspberry+pi for $56. And you get the RPi B+ (faster), a case (you really need one), and an 8g card instead of 4g. You can get the ethernet cable for less than $10: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Snagless-Molded-Patch-Cable/dp/B00004Z5H3/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1415207804&sr=8-7&keywords=Cat+5+Cables That comes to about $61. Then all you have to do is an internet search for XBMC, which is a FREE open-source program. So I guess you're paying a $38 fee for them to download a free program for you? Even if you're computerly challenged, you can find lots of videos, tutorials, and tips on how to install/use this program with the RPi. Am I missing something?

Raspberry pi itself works well. Wifi dongle would not work at all. Replacement dongle sent and it does not work as well.

Love this little thing. Make sure you look at the configurations that can improve speed. Also this did not support the Amazon and Netflix plugins out of the box. I have not researched any further how to enable these.

It's done everything I thought it would!

great
