    beware - logitech has dropped this product -- lots of providers blocking google TV - where will support be shortly.. Was going to purchase - but - cannot justify even this low price... Sony unit is $200 or less - with blu ray player. May be the best choice - however - still running google tv...

    Well, I can't explain this but apparently the $100 offer for new from Logitech is still good:

    (Argh, stupid filter is acting up)

    OK, check the price history, and click the link on the $100 unit for sale at Logitech (posted 7/31).

    In any case, I followed the link which drops a unit in your cart. Simulated checkout, and it's still showing as in stock for $100. I'm tempted to press buy just to confirm it's some kind of inventory error.

    Cool toy, nice wireless keyboard remote.
    Too bad the content is being blocked, but of Google wants to solve that problem they can.

    About the best web surfing I have seen for a TV.

    I have a 46" Sony Google TV. GTV is not very useful for streaming TV due to the lack of content (e blocked). I will be resorting to a HTPC soon for the tv.
    A few of the PROs:
    Streaming from a networked machine in the house is how I use it.
    Nice to have a quick Chrome browser handy.
    More apps continue to be optimized for it.

    CONs
    Netflix app sucks compared to a computer.
    No Hulu and most major networks block.
