I broke down today and purchased an Apple TV.  I actually owned one for a day last year.  See in this moment of weakness, I purchased one from Best Buy.  However I took it home and realized that my XBOX would do everything that the AppleTV did, albeit not as gracefully.  Well time passed and Apple decided to upgrade the software in the AppleTV to add the killer ability to get HD movie rentals.  While shopping at Sam's Club for a month of groceries, I noticed an AppleTV display in their clearance section.  Having learned that everything was negotiable, I found the dude that runs the electronics section of Sam's and proceeded to talk him into a lower price.  I was able to get him talked down about 20 clams, which for a first attempt wasn't bad..given that Big Box retailers usually won't negotiate on electronics, especially Apple products.  Well today, I stopped by again to find out if they'd sold the it yet.  I found the same manager again and tried to work my magic.  This time I was able to convince him to reduce by $65.00.  Well, I'm proud to say I'm the new owner of an AppleTV...new in the box baby.
