So today I'm sitting in front of my computer recently having finished formating a new SD card for my Raspberry Pi. I got an 8gig Kingston class 10 SDHC. I've read somewhere you can run RaspBMC on a 4gig, but the 8gig cost us only $9 at our local Fred Meyer, and bigger is better... right?
I'm installing NOOBS on it as I type. NOOBS I believe stands for New Out Of Box Software. You can buy the software on a card, or download it and install it on a card you already own.
You're also going to need a USB Keyboard and probably a mouse. A couple weeks back we bought this nice wireless keyboard/mouse combo. There are many on Amazon to choose from if you don't like that one. You can always use the one laying in your closet too.
I also suggest getting a USB hard drive to attach to your Pi. The link is to the drive we got, 2TBs should last you a good long time, for the average movie owner. Buy accordingly, you may need less or more. I've found that the average DVD movie is about 1gig in size, and the average bluray movie is about 6.5gigs.
