Roku XDS Netflix Streaming Player 1080p

Roku makes a great little player for Netflix and Amazon Video On Demand that would make a great addition to any entertainment system. If you have not tried Netflix yet I can honestly say that you are missing out. The setup is a breeze and the commercial free selection of streaming items is constantly growing. In addition to unlimited streaming you get DVDs and Blu-rays delivered to your home. This beats any commercial TV in my books.
