Fun new Netflix toy
 

It's a little black box that hooks to your TV and streams movies (via your Internet connection) from netflix. Very handy if your PC is not next to your TV or does not have HDMI.

Cost $100

Not quite as sexy as the Vudu, but a clever solution.

They really address two diffrent markets.

The Netflix box is $100, all movies are free (assuming you already have a nextflix account) The movies are primarily older releases like Superman the Movie.

The Vudu gets you newly released movies but is a pay-per-view deal. Also now that I can get HD on demand movies from Fios I don't see what a $295 Vudu would do for me.

Oh, I know. I was just addressing the design element.

We will, we will Roku.

You do that Vudu that you do for me.

Take out the trash, mow the lawn...

Ooooooo... the Roku sounds sweet! I'd buy it now, but part of me is saying that the next generation model will be even better or that another product is just around the corner that will do more.

What's interesting is how the gap between internet, computers, TV, and movies is closing. I still maintain that some day there will be a master hub for all incoming information. A whole house server if you will.

Errr, you mean some people don't have one yet?
