Innnnnterrrrrresting. This is only interesting if the cost to stream them in the aggregate were included. Also, I wasn’t aware that iTunes did “streaming”. I thought it was a straight download. You’re calling out the iTunes differential but not at all as bothered as I am by “DVD”?  I was going to get a Roku, but I think this right here changed my mind to Apple TV. a lot of people like myself still get DVDs from Netflix!  And you need to take into account that Netflix doesn’t charge you each time you stream something like amazon or itunes does (if these numbers are to apply), then consider that Apple TV plays only content you buy from apple.  PS3 is still the best mediacenter in terms of streaming stuff (including files from my computer that Apple refuses to play because I didn’t buy those files from them).
