[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1122280, member: 97843"] There are 3 main things that had me canceling my order of the new atv and buying an older one, 1. The 50ft cable that I got(DVI-HDMI) turned out to not be that great at doing its job. I didn't want to fork over more than $100 dollars just for another cable. 2. I want media to be inside the atv, not playing off my computer. You can't use your atv(new one) if there is no computer to read files from(besides some small stuff). 3. I don't really care about everything that MIGHT be coming out on the future atv...apps for example. The one I got does everything I want out of it, and nothing is missing. Also, the old atv does not need to have media on the HDD to play stuff, it can play off your computer just like the new one. So, I believe that the notion that the new atv is missing a harddrive because it can play media off wifi/computer is false...the old one did the same thing while having an hdd. I just watched parts of Dark Night from the atv via my computers itunes because I did not want to put a 1.5gb file on there when I don't watch it that much. The only reason I can see as to why the new one is missing an hdd probably has something to do with its price. [/QUOTE]
