    Looking for a good deal on the Logitech Revue? Amazon has you covered. While I’d caution most from going the Google TV route — especially with the new GTV hardware and changes on tap — there’s no questioning a 33% price drop is huge. Amazon’s new price, assuming it’s not a limited time sale, puts the Revue at the same price point as the Boxee Box.

    The two are fundamentally different, though, as the Boxee Box is designed to be a cable replacement where Google TV works best with cable. If you want to browse the Internet on your HDTV, go with the Google TV — or a HTPC and a wireless mouse. The Boxee box is a much safer bet if you want to watch local or web videos, though.
