It’s gonna be a while before the next installment of the Harry Potter movies comes out, but Archos is giving Pot(ter)heads something to look forward to come January. Archos and Warner Brothers patnered up to come out with a special edition 20GB Archos 605. Physically-speaking, it doesn’t look very different from the normal Archos 605; I was hoping for a laser-engraving of the Harry Potter logo or something on the cover. But what makes this special edition so special is that it comes pre-loaded with the first four Harry Potter movies. You can download Order of the Phoenix (the fifth film) via the Archos Content Portal after its DVD release. Other than that, it packs the same awesome features as the normal 605 - 4.3″ touchscreen, WiFi, support for Adobe Flash and DVR Station Gen 5, which allows you to use the Archos to record TV shows.
The Harry Potter Archos 605 will be sold in January for £189.99. It’s going to be available for a limited time only and unless you reside in Europe, you probably won’t be able to get your hands on one.
