Marshal’s new media drive is no laughing matter, plays Blu-ray and DVD ISOs
Yes, it’s just a hard drive that plays 1080p content, but this one can connect to your PS3 ; according to some machine translated Japanese, Marshal’s new “Media Joker” can also act as an external hard drive for your Sony game console or a Toshiba REGZA TV .
