Feb 26, 2008 - Apple tv cost almost the same as an xbox without the games and other nice features it has. You can do a lot and more with the xbox already. The xbox might have netflix soon too. Apple tv rent are rip-offs. I'll stick to my netflix (blue-ray). And watch now features they.

Feb 26, 2008 - There is no reason to buy apple tv. If you really want a box that has a hard drive. Get an xbox. Apple Tv is just a copy of the xbox, play station and wii . Maybe apple tv take 3 he will put some games on it like the ipod.

Mar 17, 2008 - AppleTV is an completely other concept. xBox is just play dvd's etc. Apple TV is like an ipod on your tv. With take 2 they even added easy movie rental. Second; apple doesnt want to add games or something. Not like xbox etc. xbox is a console, aTV is an TV-Box. Oh yes and Apple tv is easy to use. But please, look at the products before you are going to talk very badly about it :|

Mar 18, 2008 - Xbox has all of those features. Movies DL,Music DL,Videos DL and Pictures. And soon the netflix watch now feature is going to be in it. You can watch your dvd's too NOT like the apple tv ripoff. 30 days and 24 hours to watch it is Big joke. Apple tv is made for the stupid fanboys. There is no reason to buy apple tv. The take 2 scheme is still doing POORLY. Please, look and think about the product before you say something false good about it. Apple is a failing company. :)

Mar 28, 2008 - Xbox 360 can connect to a Windows Vista PC and use Windows Media Center. Much better than Apple TV in my opinion.

Apr 2, 2008 - Are all potential Apple TV customers looking for a gaming console with additional media storage capabilities? No. If anything, the Apple TV competitors are other *dedicated* PVRs, such as the Archos TV+ and the Neuros recorder.
vbsmch Says:
Apr 2, 2008 - You are a true fanboy and a retard... You can't even see a bad product(Apple tv) if you tried. You can't even put your dvd in it. No HD and Blue-ray extention. Apple tv are made for the stupid fanboys. 30 day and 24hours to watch it is so stupid for a price of 4 to 5 dollars. Why can't you see it? are you that brain dead. $230 is almost the price of an xbox. And its more expandable And it has a better UI than apple.
NitekMuscle Says:
Apr 3, 2008 - Ironically, the only stupidity on display here is your very own. Sigh, to reiterate my statement, the Apple TV ultimately competes with the Archos TV+ and other PVRs, not some random gaming console with lackluster psuedo-PVR capabilites. I've *never* owned any Apple products and, more than likely, never will as I'm more interested in Archos and Cowon. The *glaring* stupdity of your Xbox fanboyism just piqued my curiosity in this thread. Shove an Xbox 360 controller up your ass.
vbsmch Says:
Apr 3, 2008 - hahaha. I like your style. I like this quote too "Shove an Xbox 360 controller up your ass" You are gay I bet... I bet you would like that huh.
NitekMuscle Says:
Apr 3, 2008 - Let me destroy your argument in another fashion. If I'm spending "$230" on a media device and I'm not really into 'gaming', I'm probably not going to consider...gasp, a GAMING SYSTEM. Does that fully loaded Xbox even have video recording capabilities yet?
edmundgarfunkle2 Says:
Apr 3, 2008 - I'm not sure which is the more colossal failure: the Apple TV or assmch's attempts positioning the Xbox 360 (of all devices) as a legitimate PVR. I can almost picture the charmless, thick-glassed behemoth hulking over a Microsoft Natural keyboard, dressed in a faded Windows 95 shirt furiously typing out the next litany of reasons as to why the Great X is such an amazing media experience. Your next Microsoft investment should be a subscription to Encarta's suite of educational websites.

vbsmch Says:
Apr 3, 2008 - I tell you this though as an "Apple employee" Apple tv is one of our worst product(still not selling well). You got some serious followers here. I think the xbox is still a better value though. All in one shot.
vbsmch Says:
Apr 3, 2008 - haaha... I have Encarta install on my Macbook Pro(Parallel) and Pc. And yup... you got me describe to the bone. But I do want a Windows 95 T-Shirt for my collection. Apple tv is a failure and it sucks ass too. You're a follower.

Apr 20, 2008 - People... please grow up. And shut up about the Xbox360, There's non-originality in microsoft, and apple is inventing new things, and I have to say, Itv works very good, except, some bugs may appear, like no-sound or just restarting. But apple did a great job again. Too bad for the blu -ray discs, because this way of watching movies is way more cheaper. Sony has to think fast ;)

Jun 5, 2008 - I think the biggest failure is Apple hiring your bitch ass.

Feb 24, 2008 - So what? I like Macs but I don't WORSHIP them. I like PC's too but I just don't like Windows. Shut the fuck up and stop attacking me. I NEVER SAID ANYTHING WRONG TO YOU SO FUCK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE. I JUST SAID IT WAS A GOOD PRODUCT. I'M NOT FAT AND I'M NOT GREASY AND IF I KNEW YOUR BITCH ASS I'D FUCK YOU UP NOW STOP IT BEFORE I REALLY VERBALLY ABUSE YOU.
