Pi2 = $40
Case= $10
USB PSU = $10
SDCard = $ 20
MCE/FLIRC remote = $20
Total = $100
In the UK :
Pi 2 : £27.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-Pi-Mod...berry+pi+2
Case : £3.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Closed-Ras...+pi+2+case
PSU : £5.00 http://swag.raspberrypi.org/products/ras...wer-supply
uSD Card : £4.00 http://swag.raspberrypi.org/products/noobs-8gb-sd-card
This is using the recommended official PSU and uSD card. It doesn't include shipping - and as many people have Amazon Prime this may not be an issue (and the PSU and uSD card are available on Amazon with Prime I think - though costs a little more)
Total = £42 (US$62 at current rates) not including remote control. This includes UK VAT sales tax at 20%. Without sales tax it would be £34.15/US$50.
It doesn't include a remote control as many TVs will allow you to use CEC and thus use your TV remote, so many people won't need to spend extra on a remote. If you do - there are solutions below the US$20 mark, and I wouldn't recommend a FLIRC for a Pi, I'd recommend an MCE RC6 remote (I have both and never use the FLIRC)
