Well, my dad had a random apple tv hanging around his apartment. He already had one, so he gave the new one to me as a present. The apple tv is brand new, not ever opened. So, I just got a free apple tv.

Let's you rent movies, tv shows, play music, tv shows, movies, and all that jazz through your itunes account. So you can play your movies on your tv.

Nope, this one streams wirelessly and you can play things you already have. Putting a computer near a TV looks ugly, and is sort of impractical. The apple tv was given to my dad for free, who in turn gave it to me. It was free, so I don't give a stuff.

I bet it has a small screen and costs an absurdly high amount.

But you can use movies you already have, and there is no fee.

If you got OnDemand from your cable company, it gives you:
300 extra channels,
200 music channels,
Movies to rent,
And you can even watch shows when there not on TV.

Which is mostly around $5.00 a month.

I pay goddamn $0.00 to watch over 100 of my favorite movies, listen to 1,000 of my favorite songs, and do other random stuff. Apple tv lets you watch shows when they aren't on tv
