It's pretty much a failure. Plus, I dont have an AppleTV, nor will I buy, so my argument is still valid. And I, like 85% of the world, am a PC user. If someone wants to spend $2000 on a Mac, good for them. I've used them, they're ok. I can build a machine with the same specs for under $1,000. If I recycle parts from my previous PCs, I can generally make a top of line computer for $600 that I build myself. And when it gets old, I just rebuild a new one. Swap parts. When your apple is done, it's done. Plus, I can play video games. People have been predicting the decline of physical sales for years. CD sales are down, but they still sell. DVD sales are up. There are still several generations of people who don't care for downloaded content. And until download speeds increase about 400%, downloading an HD movie takes as long to get as it does to drive to the store and back. I've watched digital copies of things and playback is often more prone to lag, pixelation, and faltering image. Personally I still think DVD looks much better. It really comes down to your cables and your projection method, for better picture. I'll stick with DVDs and PCs and Blu-Rays, thanks. AppleTV has sold under 1 million units.

Why buy a piece of plastic and a box that takes up space. Devices like Apple TV will kill dvd sales like ipod killed CD sales. Thats why they came out with this whole blue ray HdDVD thing. Don't let the industry trick you so the can buy another jag for there spoiled kid. Also if you really want you can find movies for free via torrents, but i donyt do that They Look just as good if not better than dvd’s. Why buy a piece of plastic and a box that
