From what people are saying in this thread AppleTV has shit for content and is obnoxiously pushing itself as a media aggregator for paid content from other sources. That's not what Netflix did at all. As for Amazon they have years of success delivering material goods, and it feels like a natural progression for them to go from selling books and hard copies of media to investing in their own programming while transitioning to e-books and streaming video. This is just Apple trying to stamp 'Apple' on something and hoping people will fall for it. Can't blame them, they've been doing that for a long time and it has worked.
