This may play into your desicion. Someone has hacked the :apple: TV to play divx and are working on xvid. Those are the two most common kinds of avi. Someone else has also managed to upgrade the harddrive in the :apple: TV. s of now, it appears that Apple has not locked down the :apple: TV t all. There should be a pretty big homebrew scene for it.

Maybe check at appletv.net every once in a while to help influence your decision.

The first thing I said could help you if you are comfortable with that kind of stuff.

Yeah, I saw those. It's not that I wouldn't want to do it, just buying it and having to 'hack' it to get it to do what I want doesn't really tempt me all that much. Especially when Apple says this stuff 'Just Works'
 
Christ, buy a ***** wire to get the picture from the Mac to the TV.

I like this guy's thinking. A wire eh? hmmmmmm

But seriously. PPC Mac Mini are selling for how much these days? Can't help but feel I'd prefer a full-blown Mac...

Buy the 360 Drive dude. At least that way you've covered your bases for the battle. (assuming you continue to buy macs in the future)
