It could be worth just getting a $50 gift card off ebay and using that, but again what kind of hurts is that the major networks aren't all there for rentals. I suppose if you were really into FOX shows, otherwise the best option is still to buy them.

I'm curious to see how the 4.2 media streaming will work for apps outside of Apple's core. My guess is that it won't be available (which would suck as something like gamecenter or the citytv app would be awesome). Much like the features of the airport express or the VGA-out cable, I expect it to only work with the native apps. To be fair, the VGA cable was usable in other apps, but the devs had to code it in ... hopefully that's the same as media streaming.
In beta, airplay works on all apps. However video isn't enabled yet but who knows. I think what is happening is apple will provide an airplay code or something to devs where they will have to enable it.
