LaCie launched the original <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/03/lacies-lacinema-premier-external-hdd-surfaces/">LaCinema media drive</a> back in January, and the company is now extending the line of media-playback drives with the LaCinema Rugged. Built in a tasteful black version of the same rubber-coated chassis as LaCie's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/13/lacie-rugged-all-terrain-portable-drive/">standard rugged drives</a>, the new unit comes in capacities up to 500GB and features 1080i HDMI output of a variety of codecs, including XviD. The LaCinema remote appears to be redesigned, and the menu system is apparently graphical and pretty, which is always nice. Not a bad way to do playback on the go, we suppose -- now if LaCie would just bring the £219 ($357) drive to the States, we'd be all set.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/18622/19646/lacie-lacinema-rugged-multimedia-harddrives.phtml">Pocket-lint</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.lacie.com/uk/products/product.htm?pid=11155>Read</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/22/lacie-lacinema-rugged-for-the-rough-and-tumble-media-enthusiast/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1350079/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/22/lacie-lacinema-rugged-for-the-rough-and-tumble-media-enthusiast/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
