MattyIceyo Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Anyone here have this? Heard of it? Know someone with it, etc I have been checking it out on line, but haven't heard much outside of the quotes on the website saying how great it is. Debating getting one but, any feedback would be grand Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'm buying one for my parents, it will be perfect for them w/ a Netflix subscription. I've heard great things if that's what you want to use it for. I believe Hulu Plus works on it as well and Hulu just dropped their price for Plus yesterday too.

MattyIceyo Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have netflix on my ps3 which is hooked up to the HD. I jsut wonder if its worth it because I have netflix already, plus on demand etc. I would just hate to be paying for netflix, the 129 dollar box, amazon, hulu, mlb, etc etc, and every single thing is more or less the same...i will do more research..thanks though!

If you already have Netflix on your ps3, you wouldn't be paying for it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbs84 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I bought my parents one earlier this year. It's a cool little device. If my xbox didn't already stream netflix, I'd have one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andywax Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I have a PS3 in my living room and a Roku box in my bedroom. I love my Roku. It's an awesome, easy-to-use device that keeps getting more and more great content on it. I'm getting one for my dad for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadmonkey Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I've actually been thinking of getting a roku for our bedroom.. Maybe I can convince the wife that it's a X-mas gift for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I just purchased the base Roku for my parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterist136 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I've had a Roku for a little over a year now and I dig it. I don't play video games so it's a cheap alternative that allows you to stream Netflix. Super easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'm a little bummed that Netlfix went up, but if you only do streaming they lowered the price to $7.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andywax Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'm a little bummed that Netlfix went up, but if you only do streaming they lowered the price to $7.99. I thought I was already paying $9.99 for netflix, so it doesn't really bother me. NYC doesn't have very many redbox locations, so even at a $1 more, netflix is really the best deal around.

MattyIceyo Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 yeah its only a buck thats nothing. if they jacked it up like 10+ then maybe it would be something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 It's still a great deal, I'm only bummed because I was going to buy my mom a year's subscription and then it went up! No biggie though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andywax Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 They're having a 20% off sale through this weekend on all XD players (includes 1 free month of Hulu Plus). Picked one up for my dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeagain Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 How does NHL Gamecenter look on Roku? It's garbage on Boxee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericheartsu Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 i have one, they just updated the software and now it's amazing. it was good before, but now it's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I would really like to buy one of these, especially with the 20% off but it kills me that the XDS/USB player won't play .avi, .mkv, and other file formats I use a lot of.
