So...What's the difference? ( Apple TV Model #s)

Does anyone know what the difference between MB189C/A and MB189LL/A?? I cannot find anything... They are both Apple TV units with 160 GB hard drives. If you know the difference, please share!

Probably just 1.0 software pre-loaded or 2.0 software preloaded.

There is no hardware difference between either of them and they can both be upgraded to the latest version of AppleTV software, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Either one should be fine

If user desires a particular firmware version number then that would be a difference. The original ATV had firmware 1.0 so if user did a factory reset even if user updated the firmware then the reset would revert back to 1.0 , that's important to some people since user cannot download any older firmware version other than what is current from Apple.
