Roku has the Roku 2 XS Angry Birds Edition 1080p Streaming Media Player for $85 with free shipping. The Angry Birds edition includes full edition of Angry Birds, plus enhanced remote with motion control for games, ethernet port and USB port. [Amazon Reviews]
I bought one. It was junk. Nothing was really free, except stuff from eons ago. Like 20 year old movies. I don't do Netflix but am Amazon Prime. Everything cost money, so I said burp it and took it back. Fail if you ask me.
It does everything it says it does and more with private channels. Yes there are subscription based services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO GO but there is plenty of free content. Would this be my only streaming device...NO, but accompany it along with the Micca EP600 (or WD Live Plus) that can stream bluray iso's from your server or extranal usb drive and you have the best of both worlds.
Just saw at Costco yesterday, $85 for the XS package, with the HDMI cable included. At the Roku site, its $85, plus another $10 if you want the cable.
Screw the video games. These would be a lot more attractive if they played stuff on your own CIFS server.

Recommend it!
