gizmodo.com — Best Apple TV hack yet: A reader, Rusty, sent in this video of himself playing Super Mario Bros. on his Apple TV. Who cares about running XviD files—or hell, even the legit functions—when you can play Mario?

The XBox controller sucks.

Even a Wii + Virtual Console purchase of Super Mario Bros is cheaper than Apple TV.

Yeah, considering that the output is a TV screen, games are probably a better choice for Apple TV than say running OO.org on Linux.In that sense Apple TV is kind of like Zune. At this stage not a "killer app" but has much potential with future revisions.

D-pad on an Xbox controller rocks. I play Super Mario World alot better then I would with a SNES controller. I've acually compared them side by side. Comfort and and controllability lies with the Xbox controller. I hope your not talking about the large (AKA The Duke) Controller. I'm talking about the S-type.

@deadbaby: what makes you think he's threatened? He's just stating facts, you're the one sounding threatened.

@ElbridgeGerry: I believe LMNtal was trying to point out that, while one would say "brothers", the game title is properly written, "Super Mario Bros."
