Bobee Box gets priced — $199

There is a wide variety of set-top boxes that are offering competition to the Apple TV, some of which are already available such as the Roku players and some that are still getting ready to come to market such as the Boxee Box. Well, in a little bit of good news, the Boxee team has finally unveiled their pricing — $199. And if you are wondering why they would price themselves at $100 more than the Apple TV — it is because they “think it’s worth it.” Plain and simple, but a slightly better explanation to that statement comes in the form of 1080p support and no keyboards or mice being required for use.

From the Boxee Blog;

“We all watched the Apple announcement. We walked away feeling strongly confident about the space it left for Boxee to compete. We have a different view of what users want in their living rooms.  We are taking different paths to get there. The Boxee Box is going to be $100 more expensive than the Apple TV, but will give you the freedom to watch what you want.”
