    Well, with iTunes now playing .mov movies, anything seesm to be a little more possible.

    You guys are both right. Apple certainly must be thinking about this and planning? No? I'm hoping they come up with something really slick. You know, a new approach that nobody else thought of. Sure, the new XBox and PS3 will do similar things, but will it be easy and/or elegant to use? I think Airport Express was just a little taste of what they have in the works for media device integration. I just have a problem with delayed gratification and would like to see something soon!

    I woke up this old thread because Apple really did it - Apple TV is COOL! Okay, so right now iTunes may not have a lot of TV shows, movies or be super price competitive, but it is opening a world where I can use my computer to drive my TV, and NOT a box with a horrendous UI from Comcast (at over $125 a month including cable modem). It also seems to have the potential to serve up music as well as video - all over the house. This is just what my doctor ordered! Give it time people. Apple having content is, I think, the way to go. They have more control this way and can control the evolution of how this advances. Again, I'll take Apple over greedy Comcast any day!

    Wow, nice bump.

    I've got a 360 and love the thing. I rarely use it for media stuff, but I know some people who do. Problem is that you have to convert stuff to wmv (and it's not too obvious how to use the connectivity software- it's buggy).

    The 360 itself has a killer interface, it's really nice esp coming from Microsoft.

    now- to your point about Apple TV. I agree, I'm excited to see something like this come along. It's not quite ready (for me at least), but it reminds me of a few years ago when I was wowing people at parties, plugging my ipod into random stereos, and later, setting up streaming music around my apt. Won't be long for the next step, and I'm glad Apple's bringing this stuff to market.
