The Plus has Netflix support while the Live doesn’t. If you live in Canada, the Netflix support will not work (although that ‘might’ change in the future but don’t bet on it).

There’s no differences apart from that

The WDTV LIve PLus is only available in North America. The WDTV LIve can use a WiFI USB adaptor.

WD NEVER announces products ahead of release.   So, if they are, we’ll find out the day something comes out on the store shelves.

The WDTV HD, with stock firmware, is not network-capable.  That’s essentially the difference between a WDTV HD and a WDTV Live. (although… network support can be added to a WDTV HD with third-party firmware.)

Basically, if you want network access, get a WDTV Live, and if you don’t want network access, get a WDTV HD.  As I said, it’s possible to add network access to the non-network box, but why go through the hassle if you’re buying a new unit?  Especially when support is somewhat limited.  The third-party option is more for people with existing devices who would rather tinker with the box than buy a new one, but if you’re buying from scratch, why make things more difficult than they need to be?

And note that that’s true of nearly any good company – Apple doesn’t even acknowledge products that have already leaked out to the media (like the iPhone 4, for example – people had pictures and the actual phone and Apple wouldn’t even confirm it).

It’s best to be suspicious of products that are announced far ahead of their release date (can anyone say Popbox?)
