No offense guys, but how can a 720P at best compete with a 1080P Bluray? And that 720P download is probably compressed to shit.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Apple's efforts. I think their stuff is awesome. But maybe this Apple TV is still a beta product due to bandwidth ceilings.
Itunes video and audio is so crappy and yet people will pay for it. Amazing every time!
AppleTV HD rentals are actually quite good. I still like to rent Blurays though. But, compared to SD DVD, AppleTV HD rentals are great. However, I will never buy a movie through iTunes.
And only 200 of the rentals are 720p. The rest of the stuff that you can actually BUY is still only "near DVD quality".
So you get to pay 15 bucks to own a crappy compressed version of a movie that can be had from Best Buy or Amazon for about the same price. DVD's look OK on a 46" screen, but iTunes stuff really shows its weakness at that size.
Day and date is the least of iTunes's problems. The video quality is what they really need to address right now.
