      depends what you plan on using it for. I have a big HD, so I like putting a copy of hte games on there to speedup startup and loading time, but that’s not really necessary. also, i don’t download anything else from it.

      if all you use it for is saving games, then 4gb is more than enough.

        Anyone else watching “Better With You”? Saw the first two and found it quite funny

          wow, that’s pretty absurd. I’m a Comcast BASIC cable subscriber but i have access to ESPN3 (thankfully!!!).

          Btw, i’ll defend my opinion a bit…part of what bugs me about the ESPN section is that it’s soooo graphical that you have to scroll a bunch of times to see everything that’s on. In the ESPN3 interface, I can simply see everything on, and everything forthcoming, and click away at it. I understand the XBox has to be different given it’s control method…but I prefer the 3 version.

            great comment autoboy, and i think you’re spot on. Look, AppleTV (the original) tried to appease all crowds, and it was clear that wasn’t going to work. I’ve said it before, for users going in and spending $1000+ on a Macbook, then get told about this $99 box to rent movies blah blah, i think they’ll sell an awful lot of them, and kudos to them for investing the effort in audio/video quality.

                saw the premiere of Fringe, just awesome as always. super stoked about that season.

                I’ve still got Dexter waiting for me…not exactly sure how i’ve lasted this long not watching it yet!!

                I saw %#% My Dad Says….and while i definitely wasn’t ROFL, i didn’t think it was so awful. Worth a commercial skipping watch IMO.

                I also saw Outsourced….don’t think I laughed once, but again…going to give it a chance.

                I think I pulled a muscle laughing watching Big Bang Theory

                      i downloaded &#% My Dad Says but didn’t watch it.

                      I watched episode 1 of THE LEAGUE….and i’m just meh about it honestly, and i LOOOOVE fantasy football. Just not all that funny, yet i find myself continuing to watch it.

                      Saw Cougar Town and asked myself why i keep watching it…it’s just meh to me also.

                      Modern Family…dude….skirge is killing me here, i almost died laughing in this episode a couple times.

                      The Ultimate Fighter – i’ve seen every season, and while GSP’s accent is annoying, i think it’s gonna be quite entertaining to see him and Koscheck go at it knowing how much trash he talks. Of course, if you don’t like UFC u will hate this show

                      Loved Chuck

                      Still need to see Outsourced and a slew of others. I’ve heard good things about the Event, so might convince myself to go back to that.

                      But seriously, can Dexter just start already>?!?!?!?!

                              A) Get back to work! 😛

                              B) I STILL haven’t seen anything but episode 1 of Spartacus…it’s taken me longer than i planned to get through The Pacific, and Spartacus is next…just haven’t gotten that far yet, so hence why i couldn’t recommend it 🙂

                                  i don’t think Boxee took for granted how popular the AppleTV box was (as underpowered as it was) specifically for the reason that it could be hackable. This thing’s not going to consume much power at all, and it’s going to have a TON of potential, Boxee aside i think. 

                                  And i agree, i think it is for geeks. Non-geeks will probably A) Not like the form factor and B) Just prefer to go with the AppleTv that’s $100 less and they’re familiar with it.
