You can’t cost compare a device using just one of it’s features. To buy Apple TV just to rent movies is just dumb. Most of us already have a box from the cable company that provides this service. Apple TV offers so much more then just rented movies. I have one and it’s worth every dime in my opinion and I’ve only rented one movie in 3 months (I use Netflix for renting movies). We use it like it’s just a big video iPod without its own screen. Music in the living room, photo slide shows, streamed home movies, youtube, etc… I find myself watching a lot more video podcasts now days… In fact, between podcasts and youtube, I don’t watch much live tv anymore…

The problem is that the Studios are treating digital downloads like they treat the Cable Channels, they pit the services against each other to get a good deal. They should be treating them like they did the brick and mortar shops: Give them the catalog as more sales mean more money. Just very short sighted thinking by the media companies.

I love my tv, but I’m not gonna rent HD films at $5 a pop, when I can rent 8-10 BDs from BlockBuster Online for $14 per month.

I definitely think it’s a matter of choice when it comes to how you view your movies. I’ve been a Netflix user for the past 4 years and have always rejoiced with the service.

As a faithful Apple user, I’ve been inclined to purchased the AppleTV but not based on necessity but more for bragging rights. As far as having digital copies of movies I enjoy, I’ll be the first to admit of utilizing apps that you mentioned to rip copies to have both on Mac and for regular dvd player. Cheers!
