Apple increased Apple TV Hard Disk Drive Size to 160GB for $100

Apple announced that it is offering a new Apple TV build-to-order option with a 160GB hard disk drive. The standard Apple TV hard disk drive is a mere 40GB. The new larger hard drive offers four times the storage for up to 200 hours of video, 36,000 songs, 25,000 photos or a combination of each. Apple TV is easy to connect to a broad range of widescreen TVs and home theater systems and comes standard with HDMI, component video, analog and optical audio ports. Using high-speed AirPort 802.11n Wi-Fi wireless networking, Apple TV can auto-sync content from one computer or stream content from up to five additional computers right to a TV without any wires.

Apple TV with a 160GB hard drive is available today for a suggested retail price of $399, a bargain $100 over the standard Apple TV with 40GB hard drive. [Bill Fox]
