Apple TV 3.0 Software Update Official

Tweet

Yesterday, someone with a good eye has managed to snap some changes in Apple’s iTunes terms and conditions to find out that the Apple TV 3.0 software update is not that far away. Although they got it out as soon as it leaked all over the Internet, Apple took some time off from making the iPhone and the iMacs better, and made the official announcement — Apple TV 3.0 has arrived.

The new Apple TV 3.0 software brings a redesigned main menu for simpler and faster navigation through your favorite content, delivers iTunes Extras and iTunes LP in stunning fullscreen and allows you to listen to Genius Mixes (up to 12, generated from your iTunes library) and Internet radio through your home theater system.

On top of that the press release states that there’s now access to 8,000 Hollywood films on iTunes (more than 2,000 of them in HD quality) available for rent or purchase, 11 million songs, 10,000 music videos and over 50,000 TV episodes, all purchasable from your Apple TV, or you can have fun with those 175,000 videos and audio podcasts Apple gave away for free.

Apple TV 3.0 won’t cost you a dime if you’re already an user, otherwise if you want any of the goodies above you’ll need to spare $229 for the 160GB version.

The new Apple TV software is available immediately free of charge to existing Apple TV owners, and Apple TV with 160GB capacity is available for just $229.
