Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
Near second huh? Apple tv looks pretty bad between the two. I take it that was a joke you said right? Near dvd I'd say.
From iLounge's comparison, I would rate them in the following order:
1. BD
2. Apple TV
3. HD Cable
4. SD DVD
funny how they say that movies on xbox live look worse than upscaled dvd's yet they praise apple tv saying it's a close second. ironic since apple tv's hd rentals are lower in quality than xbox live hd rentals.

Michael,
Yeah that guy is an idiot. I would've never said that about the 360 downloads.
On a tangent, looking at the updated post from michael's link, they compare dish network with direct tv. Dish looks nicer.
This actually coincides with the comparison shots I've seen on avsforum... dish apparently has less compression artifacts than direct tv.
I'd like to see how either compares to fios
