No need to spring for an AppleTV, if all you want to do is stream movies that are stored on your Mac wirelessly to your Xbox. A modded Xbox running XBMC equipped with some kind of wireless adaptor (either Microsoft's official one, or a cheaper wireless Ethernet bridge) can stream movies (in a wide variety of formats, not just your iTunes stuff), music and pictures from your Mac to your tv, and a whole lot more.
Of course, a hacked AppleTV can do all that too. But if you're looking to save some cash, then yeah, you can use your existing Xbox.
