I found this on a Tech News Blog, by the same guy who wrote Why The PS3 Will Fail:

"So, you've heard about Apple's new "innovative" product, the Apple TV.
But do you really know what you'd be getting yourself into by buying
one? Angry Peter gives a rant about the disadvantages of Apple's new
product and why there's no point in buying one, as there are better
alternatives. He gives a detailed analysis of both the technical and
practical aspects of the product, so click the link below and strap
yourselves in for 101 reasons why the Apple TV fails miserably (I'm
just kidding, it's not that long)."

you keep the tv shows, but i completely agree that it's unfair that you can't keep the movies.  That's why i just use hd dvds off of netflix.

Not everyone is ready to make that plunge yet. And the future will not see exclusive HD content, like Hollywood releases, for a long time. I'd still rather buy my HD movies than DL some insanely huge files. And we need the storage of course. My statement is not really against you but against some of the people on here that are saying this is the future when it is still the better idea to keep releasing things on BR or HDDVD. The very distant future may see this concept gain more steam. For now, I would rather not DL huge 25 GB files, I'll stick to the actual physical product at retailers.
