Apple regroups for living room push; drops 40GB Apple TV, slashes 160GB price

I'll keep hoping for a hardware refresh...But it's equally likely they did this because there is no longer a real price difference between a 40GB hard drive and a 160GB hard drive and sales between the two are equally lackluster. Why have 2 models at all when the parts cost...
