This is the perfect gift for anyone who already has Netflix. For just $100, this little box delivers thousands of streaming Netflix movies and TV shows on any TV, straight over the Internet--unlimited viewing, all for one flat monthly fee. In addition, Roku has been adding new channels with more premium and free content: Amazon Video-on-Demand (more movies and TV shows), Major League Baseball (live and recorded out-of-area games), Blip.tv (independent online video), and Mediafly (video and audio podcasts), with more expected soon. It's not quite enough to ditch your cable subscription--yet--but it's a great way to expand your on-demand viewing choices to any TV in the house.
THE BOTTOM LINE: The one-two punch of Amazon and Netflix makes the Roku Player an enticing choice for anyone looking for a simple, convenient, and affordable alternative to cable or satellite TV.
