It looks like Apple has given the 40GB version of Apple TV the cement boots treatment. The model disappeared from the online store at some point overnight. The 160GB model, on the other hand, got a nice little price cut, down to $229. Previously it was the 40GB at that price point, while the 160GB cost $329.
Though there have been rumors of an Apple TV update recently, the hardware still hasn’t changed much since release. The newest rumor is that iTunes LP content has been specifically formatted for viewing on Apple TV, meaning once again that we could at least see a software update in the near future.
In the meantime, you might want to grab the reduced 160GB model if you’ve been considering it. It’s a pretty nice deal on the little box.
