Netflix Streaming Device

[ISUCyclones2015]

What do you guys use as your device? I have an Original Xbox 360 (NO WIFI) that I am debating about getting rid of or not because I currently only use it for Netflix anyway and seldom play games.

I am looking at getting a new device before the summer is up.

Only things I want are:
HD Streaming
WiFi
Under $150 but really prefer under $100.

Should I splurge and get a blu-ray combo with netfllix streaming or just stick with a Roku type thing?

I use my ps3 but I play games on it often. They have built in bluerays as well. But I'm not sure how much they go for anymore and if it's worth for you since you don't game much

I would go the ROKU route. I am looking to get one in the next year to have something to stream stuff to on the bedroom TV.

I have a roku and an appletv. the appletv is way faster but as of right now the roku has more app availability. It is rumored that appletv will get an app store which would be great, but who knows how long that will take. My recommendation is Roku. Netlfix, Amazon, HBOGO(where available), huluplus, etc

My TV (Sony Bravia) has a built-in Netflix app. Before getting that TV, I used my Xbox. Prior to that I hooked my laptop up via HDMI.

If I was looking for something to do Netflix streaming, I would probably just purchase a ~$100 Blu-Ray player with Netflix capabilities.

Word of advice about the roku, you dont need the top end one unless you really care about playing angry birds on your tv. Otherwise stick with the next couple down, heck they have recertified refurbs for cheaper as well.

I have a Roku box. It is probably my most used possession.
I wish it had Youtube, and a few other things, but overall I really like it.

Actually, I lied. I use my cell phone more! But you get the point.

I have so many ways i could play netflix on my living room tv... xbox360, ps3, tivo, the tv itself... its usually either the xbox or the tivo though.

Another happy Roku user here too. Go for it.

I have Netflix on both the XBOX360 and my BluRay player. The app on my XBOX360 is by far and away better than the app on my BluRay.

I use a laptop with an HDMI connection. It is also available on my VIZIO tv through my blu-ray/dvd player.

Yea me too!

I have the PS3, Samsung Galaxy phone, Samsung tablet, Samsung LED TV, Personal Laptop, Work Laptop and Work Phone all connected to WiFi in my room.

Yes, way overboard.

Love the PS3 Netflix app though.

360 no wifi

I never Wi-Fi stream anything. I've got my PS3 and Roku XS wired to my network via ethernet cable. Always a much more reliable, steady streaming experience.

I've got a Linksys WRT610N that has the dual-band multimedia wi-fi capability and it's always been weak, even just across the room.

I use PS3, but I'm a ROKU supporter too. Sold a lot of those little boxes while working at Radio Shack.

I have actually been following it (ALWAYS DO) and there have been more BOCs than ROKU's lol

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

Well Woot has a refurbished Roku HD-XR with both ethernet and wireless n and everything I can think of for $50... I might bite the bullet
