I am playing .mkv movies with 1080 resolution and about 12gb size without problems and i think, that is a good alternative because, the Raspberry Pi has lower power consumption than a PC and with a wireless card, you can stream contents to your TV.

Raspberry need USB storage or SD card.
Controll Raspberry via smartphone app (Android / iPhone app) using WLAN (smartphone) and (W)LAN with your Raspberry Pi. Some tvs can send HDMI CEC commands and you just use your normal tv remote. (horrible for setup but nice afterwards)

They also have mobile apps that can can remote control XBMC as well. I have my setup with my old gaming rig hooked up to my TV via hdmi with XBMC installed, and then I control it with the xbmc remote with a xbmc android app from my phone only need the TV remote to turn on the TV.

My main computer, with a ton of storage, use a software SAN/NAS solution to host shares with my movies and contents. Hook up a raspberry pi to the television with a wireless usb device, install xbmc on the pi. Then I should technically be able to stream netflix and 1channel from the PI, along with obtaining movies and contents from my desktop with much more storage.
