Well Apple have officially released their latest update to the AppleTV dubbed "Take 2". This update brings a heap of new features and an updated user interface. Of the new features we can expect movie rentals, and... my favourite, the ability to now use the AppleTV as an airtunes device from your Mac using iTunes (cool).
Of course, if your in Australia, you won't get movie rentals, infact the AU Apple website doesn't really show anything new at all. We don't even have the guided tour:

Compare the AU and US ATV sites:

WHEN Apple, WHEN will we get Movies and TV shows from iTunes, and rentals? sheesh!
The AppleTV hacker community is already buzzing with the new software update, with enthusiasts already cracking the update open to have a look inside at the new changes. Some of the questions floating around include "will my plugins still work?, what about my external hard disk?" etc.
I strongly advise that you do not update if you have "enhanced" your ATV with plugins and hacks until further notice, please keep your eyes peeled to

more on this subject soon!
