Default Google TV - $99

Just got back from Best Buy, and picked up one of the discontinued Logitech Revues. It's pretty badass so far, and should be even better once I move out of this apartment and get something better than basic cable.

If you aren't familiar with google TV, it's basically a box you run your TV service and internet service through and provides an overlay that is searchable, an internet browser, and the Android app market. The Logitech unit comes with a keyboard/touchmouse setup that is pretty sweet. I'm typing this post with it right now on my TV. You could say it's very similar to hooking your laptop up to your tv, but using this device you can mix the functions of a laptop with your cable service without interrupting anything. They used to sell for $250+ but in November Logitech decided to discontinue it so the price dropped big time.

Also for anyone here who is a Netflix subscriber, it's got a native Netflix app, as well as built in WiFi. I was going to buy a Bluray player for $89 but figured I'd rather have this for $10 more.

Logitech - Revue with Google TV - 970-000001

Hmm the store I got mine from had 2-3 more on the shelf. I don't know if this thing would be worth it at $250-300, but for $99 I'd say it's definitely worth it.
