It does some of what you want it to. You want to be able to rent and buy movies over the internet - optical media is so last decade. But it's missing out on the rest - you want to be able to play your video collection off of your PC on it. Be it stuff you've downloaded illegally or your holiday video that you've recorded on your video camera.

I dont know that much about it, but I wonder if it'll play videos from itunes on your PC?
technically, you can import all your videos into itunes, but that would be very long winded and would leave laggy itunes slowing down even more.
I'll stick with my C200 for now I think....

You could easily encode all your videos to H.264 with AAC LC audio using FFMPEG or similar and then it would play them. It just wouldn't be as convenient and it annoys some people.

So if i bought Apple TV, i wouldn't be able to play all my movies because it doesn't support AVI's?
Can you watch Youtube and iPlayer etc on it?
