160GB AppleTV's from Apple for $399 

YouTube Coming to Apple TV: "Apple TV with a 160GB hard drive will be available tomorrow for a suggested retail price of $399 (US)."

So I will probably have a burning itch to sell my 40GB AppleTV and Toshiba HD-A2 to get their slightly better cousins - the 160GB AppleTV and the Toshiba HD-A20.

Anybody want to buy? They are in excellent condition, low use, and I have all the boxes & docs.

So I'm gonna spend $400 to watch crappy flash-compressed video on my new HDTV? Puhlease! Job's DRF must be in high (cough) gear.
 
Or you could just put your own 160 GB drive in.

#1: They're in their original H.264 quality, not crappy compressed Flash files, so they'd probably be on a par with iTunes Store content.

Steve made a mention of HD movies for iTunes today but didn't give a date (no surprise).
 
video is just one facet of AppleTV - I still think of it as my primo iTunes audio interface with good synching capabilities and a good UI.
 
I could upgrade - but Apple's cost differential is less than the cost of getting a 3rd party company to do it.
