These are great items to buy on Swappa. Can be found for $120ish if you are patient.

 

[yabeweb]

New version coming out "soon"?

 

[T5BRICK]

Same price at Costco if you have a membership.

 

[Juicy Box]

For more storage, the 64GB version is also on sale

64GB isn’t enough for me, constantly getting “out of Storage” messages.

Hoping that the next ATV has larger storage options.

64GB isn’t enough for me, constantly getting “out of Storage” messages.

Hoping that the next ATV has larger storage options.

If I may ask, what do you store on this device?

The only thing we use ours for is streaming content. Granted it is the best streaming device we have found. But I have yet to find another use for it.

I would have bought the 32GB version, but when we purchased it I think the 64GB version was only $20 more.

 

[dannyyankou]

These are great items to buy on Swappa. Can be found for $120ish if you are patient.

But those are all used right? I'd rather pay $30 extra for it new anyway. And I have a store card at Target that saves me 5%, so I can price match with Amazon and get the extra 5% off.

Still more than Swappa, but it's new.

 

[zubikov]

If the last upgrade cycle is any indication, we have a LOOONG way to go until we get a new ATV 4K.

 

[Juicy Box]

If I may ask, what do you store on this device?

The only thing we use ours for is streaming content. Granted it is the best streaming device we have found. But I have yet to find another use for it.

Games, half dozen large ones would fill up a 32GB ATV.

If one is just streaming, 32GB would be more than sufficient.

 

[JosephAW]

Got an Apple TV HD for $15. Works great on my 720p TV.

 

[jav6454]

$30 off is not bad.

 

[tridley68]

I'll hold out for the new one.

 

[w5jck]

I'll hold out for the new one.

If you have the ATV 4K 2017 model then there isn't much incentive for most people to upgrade to the current 2021 model. I bought the newer remote to go with my 2017 model and I doubt the 2021 would deliver any better performance since I’m not a gamer. So if like me you mostly just stream content with it, the horsepower upgrade won't really make a huge difference, if any.

I upgraded from the HD to 4K model the other month.

 

[Gator5000e]

If anyone buys one, don't update to TV OS 15.5.1. The update broke Dolby Atmos for me on my 2021 ATV 4K causing frequent 10-25 second audio dropouts while watching a show encoded with Dolby Atmos. Watching episodes 1 & 2 of Stranger Things was a real poor experience with all these dropouts until some research found the work arounds. This apparently only happens when connected via ethernet (go figure). Streaming on WiFi is fine. Another solution is to turn off Dolby audio in settings. Sucks to have to do this. And I guess for some who have this issue it has been around since v 15 was released.

 

[mingoglia]

I just picked one up with this sale. Thx for the info. I've moved away from Apple TV over the past several years and on to Fire TV. I'm sure things are much improved since the last time I used one.

 

[CarAnalogy]

Games, half dozen large ones would fill up a 32GB ATV.

If one is just streaming, 32GB would be more than sufficient.

And now the real question, and I don’t mean this sarcastically, but there’s really 64 GB worth of games worth playing available on it?

Please name some. Again, serious question, genuinely curious. Thank you.

 

[ThunderSkunk]

I'm still using an ATV3, and tough Apple etc have lopped parts of its functionality off repeatedly to get me to throw it in a landfill, I''ll part with my nice 100% tactile remote when you pry it out of my old dead hands.

 

[Juicy Box]

And now the real question, and I don’t mean this sarcastically, but there’s really 64 GB worth of games worth playing available on it?

Yes, keep in mind that it only takes less than a dozen large games to fill up a 64GB ATV.

If you like things like Aerial Screen Savers, a larger size could also help. I pretty much only see one of them because there is hardly ever enough space on my ATV to download multiple ones.

Another thing to keep in mind is that even on large games, there are still sometimes assets, that need to be downloaded to play a game or certain parts of a game. I have ran into the annoying situation where I was playing a game, but was unable to continue because I didn't have enough room on my ATV for additional assets.

Please name some. Again, serious question, genuinely curious. Thank you.

I can give you more if you like.

I have a lot of games that are no longer available to purchase as well, such as the DuckTales Remastered version. A lot of the games that I purchased are no longer updated, or were pulled from the tvOS store as well.

One of my favorite games of all time is the RISK game that is still on iPadOS and MacOS, but was pulled from the tvOS App Store last summer.

Gaming developers are leaving the tvOS platform like crazy. Hopefully Apple does something to turn it around.

Good discount. Though could have been lower!! It should have been priced at $149 originally.

Thank you for the detailed reply. I too wonder about Apple’s level of commitment to the tvOS platform for gaming. In generally really. I don’t think they’ll abandon it but they also don’t seem to care too much about it.
