Yet another inexplicable effect Apple has on people (specifically the eternal Apple haters that infest this board). See, an iPod is a "ripoff," where a Zune, at the exact same price, is a "good value" because it comes with a $1 AM/FM radio tuner chip. :rolleyes:

And why do these people care what I spend my money on? Would they be outraged if I bought a $5 burger at Five Guys instead of a $1 burger on the McDonald's Value Menu? Of course not.

Their irrational thinking applies only to Apple. They hates itsss, you see.

What they think doesn't matter as the Zune doesn't even exist outside America.
 
i think people are pretty rationale when they refuse to pay $5 for the same burget at Five guys that you can get for $2-3 at McD's.

But they have no business criticizing me when I don't choose to do the same.

P.S. It's not the "same burger."
 
Refurb AppleTV is $149 with a decent 500GB or 1TB external harddrive = $249 or less. Easy to use interface, can't beat it.

cant beat it? are you completely blind?

the ATV has NOTHING on any of the other products out there, even that POS Dlink media center unit is better, at least it can do 1080i

the Asus O!Play can do 1080P via HDMI, and plays every format known to man kind, the WD Player is right behind it (missing 1 or 2 formats), the Asus even has esata and usb out the side.

the ATV cant play crap.

oh BTW, the Asus and WD Players are about $100
