AppleTV2 for $80
I don’t often front page deals news, but considering you can hack this and put XBMC on it, for only $80 the new AppleTV is a pretty good deal if you’re in need, or just want to play around. Going rate otherwise is around $97.

you’re too funny! I hope nobody is going to use a V1 of a hack on this thing for a full-time solution, or you might not have a SAF to worry about ever again LOL!

I just got an ATV2 and I am not too impressed with the Netflix PQ. My only comparison is Netflix for MC but I don’t see any advantage with ATV2 (aside from the price). I’ll have to give it another go but the ATV2 might have better audio offerings.
For PQ I don’t think there is
For PQ I don’t think there is any advantage. The UI itself though I do prefer the ATV2 implementation. It is also faster to stream, less buffering.
I actually had some
I actually had some stuttering and rebuffering during my short two minute test. I haven’t had much time to tinker with it yet though, the update and my test took the better part of a half hour then my wife needed MC to watch TV.
