Default thinking about getting apple tv

i did a search but all the stuff that I find seems to be old, im thinking about getting one.....

Yes, you can rent HD movies via AppleTV. However, they are $1 more per movie.

daym, i wish that the apple tv was cheaper, they can gain the money back from us with rentals, and i assume that you can buy a movie, or is that not possible yet?

Going to make a post about this, but Vudu is $200 off today only. The catch is you have to buy movie credits of $50. Still $100 for a 1080p Internet movie player.
