eBay with Johnny's General Electronics has the Apple TV 8GB (Spring 2012, MD199LL/A) for $89 with free shipping. This third generation Apple TV features 802.11g/n, 10/100, HDMI, wireless remote, 1080p output and more.
For $10, Airparrot should move video from a PC to an AppleTV. The AppleTV looks like a good deal for what is effectively a wireless HDMI extender.
This device also does Netflix, and least importantly, iTunes video. There is little danger of iTunes offering better prices than physical discs, and their sales are too tepid to worry about keeping up with.
Edit Harder: #2, you are paying your 9% use tax, right? Apple refurbishes their products within an ant's hair of new, and they stand behind that. I dunno what they do when you come into an Apple store with a dud and a real E-Bay receipt, and it isn't worth under $3 to worry about that.
Same thing refurbished for $85 from Apple.

Re: "Same thing refurbished for $85 from Apple. "
But plus TAX is $92+ and it is 'refurbished'.
So $89 for brand new is a good deal.
