I must confess I misread the article. The price isn’t cheaper, nor is the LTE version available in my country (Singapore).
Guess I don’t feel so bad now about my series 2 watch...
The lack of a LTE version in Singapore is a bummer to say the least, may have gone for it have it been available.
Then again, I prefer a LTE version that is not tied down to any telco as I would prefer to use a prepaid SIM for it (it's not technically feasible now I know, but one can always dream...)
Germany: Apple TV 4k 32 GB 25 - 27 September, 64 GB 2-3 weeks
Wanted to get the 64 GB & kept refreshing while the Store was down, but as soon as it was back up, the 64 GB was already 2-3 weeks
I'm not so bothered about the Gaming aspect, but for streaming 4K would the 64 GB make a difference? (My internet speed is no problem - 400 Mbps down 20 Mbps up)

Same here but I figured for $20 to get double the capacity is a no brainer.
Got my Apple TV 4K this morning 3+hours after preorders went live, still going to get it next Friday, can’t wait! Also got a Belkin hdmi, I know I could have gotten one cheaper on amazon but I’d rather get everything together. Can’t wait! Not watching anything 4K until I get my Apple TV!
Wow! The 64GB AppleTV's ready for Friday, Sept. 22 delivery sure went quickly. I didn't think that they would go that fast, but seeing the posts above, I'm kinda glad that I didn't get up at 3:00 am (Eastern) to try to buy one and strike out.
I ended up buying two. The 32GB versions were still available as of just before 7:00 am. The 64GB version that I bought is showing for delivery between Oct 6 and Oct 13.
Hope all enjoy their new goodies.

Great idea... my car already has wireless charging for my house I probably wait and get something from Amazon ...
Depends on version. 32gb still shows 22nd. Lucky I bought 2 64gb for 22nd delivery
Sure. I have the last gen Apple TV and some older ones, and frankly I don't think I've used a fraction of the storage. But with Apple pricing the new ones so closely, it seemed like a no brainer to give them an extra $20.
Baa. Apple Good. Baa.
Yep, definitely. But my work gets really busy just about the time the 64 GB would arrive. So I bit the bullet just now & ordered the 32 GB so I can enjoy it before I have no time
I checked this morning and its now $10 ....... so weird that it showed $40 last night
I've never run out of room, yet, I've always had the largest for fear of running out of space. On our main ATV in our house, we have the 64gb ATV4 with tons of apps and a few games. I'd imagine the space hogs are probably the games, but we don't game much on ours. Good question though, I'm curious to know the same!
Depends what games you like - with several several gigabytes large you can only have so many on there...
Does anyone know how activating these on the carrier is going to go? Does this add on to my plan? Is their a hard credit check for the additional “line”. Do i call the carrier or can i do it from the Apple Watch app?
I am wondering whether its worth me waiting for the 4K one or just buy an existing 4th gen one?
I don't have a 4K TV and don't plan on getting one anytime soon, primarily I want to use netflix and install Plex on it to stream my existing videos.
I will rent the odd movie but not having a 4K tv makes me wonder if I should just get a refurb Apple TV 4th Gen and save the £50 extra of the 4k?
Hmmmm

It’s also been confirmed that it’s three months free trial service through all carriers. So odd you saw 40 bucks! I would never for that amount, can’t blsme you there.

I put my series 1 42mm space grey Apple Watch on eBay last night at like 11pm est and it was gone by 11:02. Full price paid. So, were in the same boat! Awesome feeling huh?
Ordered Apple Watch at 3:01 est and it's already showing preparing for shipping, not processing

The earliest pre-orders placed today for the Apple Watch Series 3 LTE and non-LTE models and the Apple Watch Series 3 Hermès models will deliver on Friday, September 22, while Nike+ models will be available starting on October 5.
As for the new Apple TV 4K, which offers 4K HDR connectivity for the first time, Apple has not provided a specific list of countries where it will be available for pre-order so presumably it will be available in all countries where the fourth-generation Apple TV is sold. Apple TV 4K orders placed today will ship out on Friday, September 22.
Apple Watch Series 3 pricing starts at $329 for the non-LTE model and $399 for the LTE model, with prices going up based on case material, size, and band. Apple TV 4K pricing starts at $179 for the 32GB model.

That's good to know its already available. I think ill wait for the new air power thing instead because I like the idea of charging my phone, watch and air pods all on the one charger.
