I wanted to get an Apple TV, primarily to browse my iphoto library, movies and music from my MBP. I don't care about renting movies since there is no Apple Itunes store for my country (well there is but only for apps - no music or movies).
For $99 I felt it was still worth it as a wireless media browser plus, I would be able to watch youtube on my 42 LCD tv.
But then I thought why not just get a PS3 for $200 more (adding the benefit of a game console and a bluray player -which I also want) and use it as an AppleTV for browsing media files on my mac.
I know these are different products, and the ATV may be more polished when browsing for media files, but how good/bad is the PS3 UI, especially when connecting to a mac? Will I be able to play videos stored on my mac too?
Thanks for your help.
