Joystiq compares XBox Live to Apple TV



The Apple TV isn't the only device in town that offers up movie rentals (in both standard and HD), but it is the one in the headlines this week (I wonder why). Steve noted during his keynote that many companies have tried to get online video in the livingroom and they have all failed, including Apple. Amongst the other companies named was Microsoft. As you may know folks can rent movies via the XBox Marketplace and watch them on their TV. Sounds like the new, improved Apple TV, doesn't it? Our good friends at Joystiq though so as well, and whipped up a chart comparing and contrasting the two offerings.

How does the Apple TV fare? Well, clearly the XBox 360 does a much better job at playing video games, but the Apple TV wins on the video front.
