When setting up a media/gaming center after spending a long time without even a TV, I was surprised by how little progress there had been. The AppleTV is useless. My current setup is an xbox 360 + mac mini, and I'm pretty satisfied with it. The mini is hooked up to a Drobo (which I regret purchasing) which holds my media. I serve media off the mini to the xbox using Rivet. I also have automated ripping setup on the mini so that I can pop in a DVD and an applescript takes care of the rest, which makes digitizing my library feasible. The xbox 360 allows me to watch DVDs, stream movies/TV off the mini, watch Netflix instant viewing, and uh, play games. The only thing I don't have the ability to do yet is to play Hulu on my TV. I'll have to investigate Boxee for that...
