What product am I excited about this year? My Tivo Series 3? My new BlueRay player? No. It's a tiny little cooling fan from Middle Atlantic. When I first had equipment installed in my living room, we had it all nicely hidden away in a built-in cabinet. DVR's (e.g. Tivo), Satellite receivers, and DVD players can all generate a significant amount of heat. When placed in an enclosed cabinet they are unable to stay cool enough to prevent the heat from damaging the components.
After frying a couple of pieces of equipment, we had Home Technologies install the CAB-COOL fan in the side of the cabinet. What I love about it is that it has an integrated thermostat that lets it spin slower and keep the fan noise to a minimum. Installation is simple and self-contained and our equipment now stays nice and cool.

we have a blue ray player? why didnt you just buy a PS3?
Good question! It's kind of a dog player too - a Sony. Would the PS3 fit in our living room cabinet?
not sure, dont think its much bigger than a tivo though. From what i've heard, buying a $400 ps3 is as cheap or cheaper than many blue ray players on the market.
also, they released planet earth on blue ray... *hint hint*
Problem with PS3 is that we can't program a programmable remote to control it. The sony, while slow, has a very good scaler in it so even standard DVD's look better.
