“Packaging is one of the only things about the Apple TV that we haven’t seen already. I was lucky enough to get one early. Biggest surprise? No cables in the box,” Noah Robischon writes for Gizmodo.

That is so hot. Unnnnnnhhhhhhhh.
Apple TV is an “iPod for your TV”… Need I say anymore? Cool!
“iPod for TV” would be a great slogan for a TV commercial.
My HDTV wants HD content. Current content available for AppleTV from the iTunes Store is sub dvd video quality and dolby surround (aka matrix). When HD content becomes available for purchase from the iTunes Store, that is when I will bite. As it is now, it is a waste of money. I love Apple but if you want to sell hardware you have to have software that complements the device.
yumz..
wish they’d get to it and sell some movies up here in Canada
MDM MW: made, as in the machine made the man
Well it sure is great to know what the box it comes in looks like. Very very useful.
Anyone want me to post pics of the box that my laundry detergent comes in? There’s a really cool little tab on the box, near the top, that seems to go most of the way around the box, that you just pull and somehow that makes the top become removable. Actually it is not completely removable but rather the top of the box is as if it were attached with a hinge. I think you would really be impressed to see it!
I here ya eh.
Not only are movies sub DVD quality with low quality sound — not friendly for my HD display — but they are not even 16:9 anamorphic but 4:3 letterbox.
Apple, love yah but… bring on the 720p content, or at the very least DVD quality (pixel resolution, audio, anamorphic) before I’ll even consider buying movies/television.
I uh…
…uh.
Apple sucks.
Actually Apple TV is more “AirPort Express AV” than iPod – only it pulls content instead of pushing.
Hey Peterson, hope you didn’t hurt yourself

Funny part of the pictures is that the relfection in this picture:

looks like a bad version of the reflection in Apple TV.

they’re IDIOTS.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmappleweloveyou
I get the feeling there are a lot of trolls out being paid by Microsoft to underplay the success of Apple TV.
So pathetic I just laugh frankly.
+++ It is HDTV quality NOW. 720P X1048

Is your TV sideways?
No cables in the box? There’s a freaking photo of a cable! AND it’s in a box!
