Fun new Netflix toy

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.

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.

They did say that it can support high def, and higher bandwidth later on. Might be worth it. All the reviews I see are pretty good.
