Apple TV Guided Tour - If I had more time for movies, I would grab this.

Great comparison chart over at joystiq pitting the XBOX and Apple TV together when it comes to entertinament center options (movies, tv, etc.). Of course, the XBox plays video games and DVDs so it’s comparing Apples and Oranges. Personally, I like the fact that AppleTV can sync with my computer and I can watch almost anything with that method. Still considering getting one, and I own an Xbox as well (The Xbox is in my office though and an AppleTV would be great in the family room).

Watching the Macworld San Francisco 2008 Keynote, and Steve Jobs has introduced the Apple TV Take Two. No computer required. Rent movies on Apple TV. DVD quality AND HD + Dolby 5.1. Plus it does the standard podcasts, flickr… also works with the iTunes Move Rental service (have to think if $4.99 for an HD movie is too high, but $3.99 for a new release sounds fair right now). I’ve been wanting to get an Apple TV, and this might be the one.
