I didn't see ATV on the list for last year's sales events.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any place that might have it for a discount (even a small one) from the regular price?

Cheers.
 
i bought an apple tv yesterday and before i bought it, i asked both the apple store and bestbuy if it would go on sale on friday, and they just laughed at me.
 
Just get a refurbished one from store.apple.com. You probably won't be able to tell the difference, and it includes a full warranty. $199/$279 :)
 
Im about to buy from ebay, but im scared that apple will launch and awsomely update, and my ATV will brick...
oh I plan to upgrade the hard drive seriusly......:D
 
It was just the 160GB model on sale Friday, right?

I might've bit had the cheapest one been on sale since I stream everything from a networked drive. But I think I'm in a holding pattern until I figure out how awesome Netflix really is. I like watching streaming stuff on my laptop (external 20" monitor!) and I'd like to do it as easily on a TV. But I have tried to hook up my computer to TVs before only to have extremely crappy video. If I could ever figure that out, I would really just like to buy an old Intel Mac Mini on eBay and use it with the TV.
 
I managed to pick up a 160gb refurb for £189 (retail £269). It's definitely the way to go. I got a refurb MacBook a year ago and had no complaints and saved £200+. You do need to check every day and if you see one you want just get it as they go quick . All I need to do now is how to figure out streaming the BBC iplayer through and I will be laughing
