I know alot of people who use the xbox 1 as a media center. its amazing what you can do with an xbox 1, a soldering iron, a 250 gig hard drive, and the latest version of xbox media center- you can store more music and movies on that thing than you'll ever need. Probably won't satisfy the need for high def video and killer audio formats, but it is still a very cheap alternative.

the only downside to the apple tv is the lack of 5.1 surround right now (even though it connects via hdmi or optical out) and the tiny 40gig hardrive. BUT, the thing is only $300 bucks. not bad. Plus, I expect that down the road, they will change the software and offer 5.1 surround formats.

Jonah, I agree, itunes need to start offering at least 480p content with true 5.1 audio. If I lived in the states, I would have a xbox 360 with the VOD service, however, canada gets the shaft with no HD downloadable movies...

Hutzal, xbox 360 has a good amount of dl'able movies but only some are hd. And then only some of the hd movies have 5.1 surround. I suspect the selection will be growing as the service continues though.
what stops you from creating an american account so u can dl movies? I know several people here in us that made a hotmail account that says they are from a dif country to access demos exclusive to that region...
