Mine is a Refurb
I bought my Apple TV from the Apple online store’s refurbished section. My experience so far is that the refurbished items from Apple are good quality. In my case it came in a new box completely sealed. The only thing indicating it was a refurb model was the sticker on the box (actual picture at the right). My experience was very positive and I would recommend people considering buying an Apple TV consider a refurbished model – the warranty is the same as new. The refurb 40GB model is $199 – that is a good deal in my opinion. Also, I recommend you stick with the 40GB model unless you really think you will be storing a lot of media locally on your Apple TV. You can stream everything from your PC or Mac so you don’t necessarily need to sync the Apple TV.
Some more pics of the un-boxing (yep admittedly very geeky) – no different than brand new:

iTunes SD Rentals New Release and Removals for 10-08-08.
Update – Apparently Apple has removed Child’s Play as the $.99 movie of the week and replaced it with Ghostbusters II. This is a new move from Apple, removing and replacing a $.99 MOTW. Am I nuts, or was Child’s Play the $.99 MOTW as of yesterday?
It looks like Lucasfilm brought a little friend a long with The Clone Wars in
