NES controller remote, very sweet. However, a NES Advantage controller remote would be all out awesome.
Bulky as hell, yes but awesome. Come on, it was in Ghostbusters 2!

Come on! The fact that instant viewing from Netflix isn't possible on a Mac right now should be seen as a BUG, not an opportunity for a new box to buy. Plenty of us already know how to stream Mac-based media to our TVs, and a fix for the bug would be the right way to go.
Now, Netflix is setting its third party vendors up for a competition with AppleTV, which I think is a major miscalculation. Better to work out a way to make Netflix work with AppleTV or people streaming content other ways.

This is why I left Netflix. Now they are offering to sell me a cheap windows box to connect to my tv? Thanks but no thanks.
I would hope that Apple would team up with Hulu. That might actually get me to finally buy an AppleTV.
