Bought a 40 GB refurb the day after take two announced. I am very pleased, the refurb is super cheap and I can't wait for the update. FedEx says mine should arrive Monday. It'll be interesting to try it out pre and post update.

I picked one up at the SoHo store in New York. I got the 40GB too, since I'll just be streaming from it. Love it so far, and can't wait for the update and the forum posts on ripping with 5.1.

i think that we are going to get a 40 GB refurb when we have the money

I bought a 160 GB Apple TV on the day of the ATV2 announcement. I already had a 40 GB in my family room, but I wanted another one for the living room upstairs, especially now that rentals are coming. I prefer the bigger drive so that I can sync everything from my main computer and don't have to worry about having the computer on and iTunes open.

^ Me too... bought a 160GB

I can't wait to pick up an Apple TV as soon as I get the money! haha.

Being a college student doesn't help much..

I ordered an 40GB refurb right after ATV Take 2 was announced. 'Just did some research first to confirm that hardware is the same. Got it Friday and enjoying it already; will enjoy it even more once the upgrade software comes...

got a 160. should have got one a long time ago, i didn't know what i was missing. it is amazing device even before the new software upgrade. can't wait for ability to rent SD, HD, and flickr integration.

Bought a 160GB this afternoon. Now I can anxiously await the software upgrade on my Apple TV just like i do on my iPhone.....

Haven't actually bought it yet (waiting for vacation pay), but DECIDED to buy it just after Take 2 was announced.

Should have it next week.

Going to get the 40GB and mostly stream form my iMac.

Bought one on Stevenote day as well. The 160GB model. I like it a lot but would like it more if TV shows could be purchased in HD. Especially LOST.

Will be buying one this week!

So if I ordered an Apple TV 40gb yesterday will I receive the new box or old one? Any difference outside of the packaging and software that would be a difference?

I am buying one tomorrow, they have them at Costco 160GB for 299.

I bought one last week at the local Apple store and got a 8% discount for being a business owner.

I did....

Same for me...

My 40GB Refurbed arrived on Friday

Works perfect. Very Happy and can't wait for the software update.

I purchased a refurb 40g Friday and Fed Ex says it should be here on Tuesday, i can't wait!

Get this:

I ordered a 40gb refurb last tuesday(day of Stevenote) it arrived on Thursday. Awesome right? Well it gets better. Even though I ordered and paid for a refurb($199+tax), they sent me a brand new TV! It came in full retail packaging unlike refurbs that come in plain brown boxes. I am loving the TV! It is definitely one of my favorite Apple products. I can't wait for the update next week.

bought the 40GB

Opted for the lower cost model, because I also bought the iPhone, too!

went to the local Apple store and picked a 160GB one up today. Using component video as my tv only has one HDMI port and my cable box is using it. Very impressed with it so far: picture quality is great (my tv is only 720p) and it was dead easy to set up. wish I'd got one earlier now

Ordered a new 40GB model yesterday.

(my company has an employee discount with Apple which doesn't apply to refurbished items, and the difference between discounted-new and refurbished wasn't worth it to me)
