To me it is funny that one of the things Apple touts about the ATV2 is the fact that it only uses 2w while in use. Whats funny about that is the fact that in order to stream your own content to the device you likely have a machine that has a 250 watt power supply (typical pc)serving the files to the ATV2. Where as the 1st gen ATV had it's own storage and draws about 35 watts. So to me that is more energy conservative than the new setup. Because you dont actually need to have a pc or mac running to actually play videos or music from the 1st gen device. And the ATV1 has a standby mode as well. LOL
