You can get one under $200 new easily if you're willing to buy on ebay. IMO, that's not expensive considering people spend 3-400 on an iPod, and this requires an HDTV which isn't too cheap anyway.
There are lots of great reasons for someone to buy, but they vary on that someone. I think it is worth it to me even if it couldn't play tv and movies. Just having my music and YouTube on there provide alot of fun, and access to the hd podcasts are great. When I hit the couch and start thinking about what to watch, podcasts have become a nice option for me. I wasn't that much into them prior to the ATV. Photos are awesome too and now access to Flickr will be a very nice addition. I will be able to check out any friend/family Flickr shots on a whim just sitting on the couch.
Did I say I love YouTube on there?
I still think Apple should stream the Keynotes live to Apple TV users. Why not?
