Is the update available now for mac/apple tv users? If so, does it involve a reinstall/re-patchsticking or can we update it within the boxee application itself? Thanks.

To borrow from the great Taj in Van Wilder, it's all about slinging it up in your father's woodshed!

Very nice! Looking forward to much HD goodness with one of these. How about some James Bond 007 in HD?

Here's a real testament to the value of a hard drive:

I was thoroughly enjoying my Nintendo Gamecube, having poured immense blood and sweat into Super Mario Sunshine, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and Metroid Prime. In fact, I probably had some MGS Twin Snakes data on the same memory card. To make a long story short, my brother misplaced the memory card and it did not turn up for 3 years. Talk about precious incentive completely evaporating over time. I tried to get back into them (with some success concerning Zelda), but to this day I am on the brink of beating Twilight Princess yet just embarking on the 8 trifoce shards in Wind Waker. So yes, for all who complain of the sheer weight of these new consoles, be grateful that hard drive is in there!
