If they'd ditch that ridiculous PlaysForSure DRM then I'd be all over this, but it's just a complete deal breaker for me. The Amazon MP3 store is absolutely amazing - nowhere else can you buy music for an average of 89 cents a track with absolutely zero DRM. I was excited to learn that they had a video store, and I didn't read the fine print before I bought Season 1 of House. I can't burn it to a DVD or VCD to watch on my TV (which most of America still uses, Apple TV fanboys need to get over themselves), and I can't play it in a good media player like VLC. Worthless.
You shouldn't worry too much about the AppleTV fanboys. There aren't many of them. Actually Apple hasn't had much luck with Apple TV sales, seems more people are interested on either playing their iTunes video on a computer or an iPod/iPhone.
