Patriot Box Office Media Player Review

Packaging and Accessories

The box this media player comes in is not only colourful but chock-full of details. This was totally expected since Patriot always seems to package their products quite well which not only adequately protects but also gives all the information a customer would need to make an informed decision.


Opening up the box we can see that Patriot did go for a multi-zone and multi-layered approach when it comes to protection. The player itself is suspended in place with two large Styrofoam end caps which keeps it firmly in place and below it is another box which contains the accessories. This is a nice, safe and secure way of doing things as the accessories are kept away from the player and thus can’t inflict any shipping induced damage to the Box Office.


Speaking of the accessories which accompany this unit, we are actually impressed with everything Patriot managed to shoe horn into the budget. As with the Asus 0!Player you get composite cables, an external power adaptor, USB cable and a CD with the instruction manual on it. However, they went that extra mile and actually included a HDMI 1.3 compliant cable as well. This doesn’t sound like much, but it is one less cost Patriot hasn’t off loaded unto their customers like most manufactures in this product niche do.
