I wonder, why people publish these unboxing videos? Are there those who can not open a box themselves without instructions?

Do you need itunes10 in order to use the Apple TV? I'm still running OS X 10.4, so I can't upgrade to itunes10.

Some of us find it interesting, seeing what it comes with and seeing the shiny new apple product come out of the box...:rolleyes:

For the same reason a strip tease is performed slowly. I'm not a fan of unboxings myself.

Actually they are great to have if you ever need to return something within the return period. Although Apple's packaging is so simple it isn't really hard to keep track of all the items that came with the box and where they go inside the box. For other products though, I have gone back and watched an unboxing video to see how things were arranged and what came in the box before I returned it to avoid a restocking fee (at certain stores at least).

For the time being, the new ATV is pretty much exactly like the old ATV, which I have been using for the last 2 years (cut my cable 2 yrs ago and got a PS3, ATV, and netflix subscription and haven't looked back). The $.99 tv show rentals appeal to me, but that is really the only significant feature I would gain by upgrading to the new atv, but it doesn't have me all jazzed up to go buy a new $99 product. What does excite me, however, is the groundwork Apple has laid here by running the new device on iOS and creating Airplay. I think we'll see these advancements taken advantage of by both apple and other developers pretty soon, and I look forward to that.
