October is a spooky month by its very nature, but as a potential Apple TV owner, few things scared me quite as much as the thought of the set-top box missing its proposed “late October” release date. If you were haunted by the same thoughts, it’s time to breathe a sigh of relief. Apple has just opened the pre-order for Apple TV, with the device shipping this Friday, October 30th.

Apple TV will come in two flavors; 32GB for $149, and 64GB for $199. Which should you get? Here’s the skinny, straight from Apple:

So there you have it! We’re not totally sure what the launch line-up is going to look like yet, but with a few early confirmed titles like Harmonix’s Beat Sports  and a multiplayer Crossy Road on the way, we’ve got high hopes for the system.

Pre-orders are available at apple.com.
