Anyone have, or have been around them? I'm not an Apple fan. But seems like a pretty nice unit comparable to a Roku.

Well, digital console games are a little different than digital movies. I don't expect I'll ever be able to play a game anywhere other than on the Xbox console if I buy an xbox game. Digital is pretty awesome since I can just DL and play it on day one, no lines, no pre-orders, and I don't have to get up and change which disc is in the console. Also, I know that in some number of years new stuff will come and I won't go back and play the old games any way. It'd be better yet if people weren't idiots and the Xbox One had shipped as originally planned and I could share those digital games.Anyway, in terms of movies, I want to be able to watch on the TV, on the PC, on my tablet, on my phone. If you fully vest into Apple's digital movies, your movies currently are only available within their eco system. I guess the main differences to me are:That surprises me. I know are all for digital downloads on the Xbox so why not other platforms?
So you have a new Apple TV then? What do you think about it? Is the menu nice and clean? Does it stream good? Good picture quality?I use mine for netflix in the bedroom. I guess apple just doesn't want a piece of the casual gaming on the big screen scene. For all the fanciness of the wii u tablet is, they could have already been doing that. *shrug* I don't get it and it doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon.
Which is strange, because I listen to mp3s from amazon on my iPod. Maybe we need to buy rokus until apple, if they ever do, come around. Maybe it's worth double checking to see if it will stream from my iPod. I just checked, there is an amazon instant app you can stream from iPad.I like the air play feature of the Apple TV. But the lack of Amazon Prime makes me sway to the Roku 3. Tough call.
I never even use our streaming Prime. I don't like the layout as much as Netflix and they seem like they have about the same content. But it is nice to have as an option so I understand your point.I don't know still trying to deciede between it and the Roku 3. I like the clean interface of the Apple, but the lack of Prime really turns me off. But the Air Play would be nice.
Hate to be a "me too" but he is right. The amount of times that we have used amazon is nearly zero. Unless your daughters are having a Barbie party and Shopko doesn't have the dvd in stock, you might not need amazon.I never even use our streaming Prime.
