Kaleidescape releases Cinema One DVD movie server, appeals to the toddler film buff set

Despite the legal hoopla related to its DVD ripping practices, Kaleidescape is still releasing high-end media servers designed to save the rich (and now their spawn) from the hassle of opening a movie box. The Cinema One is its latest and most affordable creation to date, but still costs a hefty $4,999. For the most part, the server is just a cheaper replacement to 2009′s Mini System , that can store up to 225 DVDs or 2,500 CDs for instant access. It also sports the same hassle-free setup, but adds a new wrinkle in the form of kid-friendly features. Specifically, a junior remote is included in addition to the standard version, which triggers a simplified system UI anytime it’s used. While we’re all for toddlers being able to watch their favorite content too, at this price we’d have rather seen support for Blu-rays and dare we say Netflix streaming. Then again, we aren’t in the best position to judge the value of a digital babysitter.
