In the new world of streaming, people has found out that there is more to get from older apple TV. Especially those that can be jailbreak. Third party addons are playing a heavy role in internet tv era. This is why older Apple TV are more expensive that newer one.

People often jailbreak the apple tv 2 which allows them to use programs like xbmc or kodi (google them) which allows them to stream movies and ppc free. They havent been able to jailbreak the newer versions of apple tv and from the sounds of it wont any time soon. Thats why apple tv 2 is expensive in comparison to the newer ones...freedom to manipulate the software in device

Depends on which version atv 2 is more because of its capabilities to be jail broken. 3rd gen doesn't allow for this. Both atv 2 and 3 do play he quality the jail breaking feature is what makes it cost more

The real question is how it went up to $500 at present (June 2014)!! Now that's a rip-off. Does a little less than a $35 Chromecast at 15x the price. Chromecast is due to get Sling support shortly.

Taylor: One last comment, click on the link below, it will take you to the Amazon page where they are selling the "old version" of the Mac you referenced. Scroll to the middle of the page and you will see a link to the "new version" of the same Mac. I'll leave it to you to make a side by side comparison of the tech specs, software, enhancements. Interesting, Amazon does not list a price of the new Mac. Apple iMac MD093LL/A 21.5-Inch Desktop (OLD VERSION) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

It's the same hardware, just different programs and applications. So in a sense, the price of an iPod touch went down $20.

If you mean the old model is more expensive, I believe 1.) it is harder to find for sale 2.) There are a lot of notes indicating the older model may have come from a time when the quality of the units were actually better. 3.) I am going to purchase an older model because I do not need high resolution, I want quality, and I am connecting to XP.

No, that's why its over $200 cheaper. Get a roku or the new chromecast and save.

Yes, when I bought this a couple years ago I checked how much it was and it was 300+ with the glasses and all when I only paid 599 for the tv on the black Friday deal. So it wasn't worth it for me. Might be cheaper now.

That happened to me also, except the price doubled...from $59 to $108! Sounds like "bait and switch" to me. Good reason to go back to the old system.

You could have gotten the cheaper one but the picture wouldn't be as good. We have the basic model on the bedroom tv, it's HDTV, we bought it for the previous tv which it worked great on, but the picture on it isn't as good as the Roku2 that we have on the HDTV in the living room.

Honestly for the price I bought it for, I was not concered about the internet connection. It's a 55" 3D HD TV that's 120hz and that's wht I wanted. I already have an Apple TV so the Smart TV option was not appealing to me. I feel people pay more for the smart tv feature when you can really get all that stuff through your cable provider or Apple.

I think the price went up because Sony was having a promotion that if you bought the TV together with a home theater system, the home theater system was essentially free. Now that the promo is over, I suspect the TV price will drop.

Apple does not make the 160 GB Apple TV. The only Apple TV Apple makes is Apple TV MD199LL/A [NEWEST VERSION].

I don't know, but it's probably because it's a pre-Mountain Lion release. No worries - Apple provides a free upgrade to the new OS!

Please be careful.. the seller "Big Box Superstore" has a caption stating "Free upgrade to 2015 model.Un60h7150" for $1699 this is misleading since this is not an "upgrade" at all. $2203 is the realistic price for this item. Hope this helps

I bought the large set at x-mas 2009 for 49.99, i bought two of them. The people who are selling them on here are crooks. From what I can tell the newer one is just missing the tv input and the "eye" scanner, neither of which I use. you are much better off with the 49.99 ones.
