how many other companies out there make a small update to some software on a product that has not been selling well, then people become obsessed about the release of the new software??
A small update with one big time feature that I've been wanting for, for a long, long time - the ability to rent movies on ATV without leaving my La-Z-Boy recliner. :cool:

Actually a lot of people with DirecTV are kind of fanatical like this too, especially with the HD DVR's. Maybe not quite as bad, but we get pretty excited with new software updates - check out dbstalk.com.

umm...world of warcraft anyone? lol. tuesday patches are what people live/die for in that game.
 
so, the ATV's sold in stores today - they have which version of the software - take 1 or take 2?
 
This has definitely been added since yesterday afternoon.

It wasn't there when I looked yesterday, good catch!

Maybe the update will be available at 6 for all the time zones like they have been doing for awhile now?

I thought they would have released it a midnight (Tuesday morning) so the traffic wouldn't be as bad and people could update throughout the day instead of all at once.

That has been there for a while. I've been checking.

I never clicked on a you tube link on my iPhone before. It was pretty cool that it launched the application. Guess you learn something new everyday.
 
See the weird thing to me, is that the US music store has been bugging out lately, but if you click on the left and right arrows on the main store, it goes to the new albums sold today, but still gets reset once circling through it all. Also if you go to the specific genres, it reflects the new albums.


Weird crap.
 
Did you see they posted the video rentals on your TV on apple.com? Like the how - to...sorry if I am late getting into this conversation and thats been up for a week. haha. but i just noticed it.
 
My bet is still for today...

Few reasons...

iTunes has been acting funky today. I think there might be some bugs on the back-end that they are working out at the last minute. Once iTunes is back to normal I think they will release the update. I'm thinking 5PM Central Time (ish).

It is Tuesday.

The Apple Start Page has been updated to tell people how to rent movies.

The Florida Republican Primary is tonight and something HAS to distract me from it.

iTunes store has been buggy for me since the 15th.

The last :apple:TV update was released on a Wednesday

The Apple Start Page has been updated to tell people how to rent movies.

That same banner has appeared elsewhere on Apple's site since the keynote - its just been moved to http://www.apple.com/startpage - its 50/50 for me - could just be there to fill space until its out. But this is the strongest evidence of all your list IMO:)

The Florida Republican Primary is tonight and something HAS to distract me from it.

What you don't like watching train wrecks? :D
 
Status Check...

.

Your Apple TV is *still* up to date.


I think my apple TV is getting tired of my hitting the software update screen...
