Re: Another Amazon deal of the day: Roku 3500R Streaming Stick (HDMI) - PRE-ORDER

And some people have been known to take an old PC and hook it up to their
big TV for Netflix. My problem with that is
- Takes up a LOT more space in your living room
- uglier and noisier
- sucks a lot more power than a roku device
- remote isn't as nice without really putting some cost into it for remote
keyboards and whatnot.
On the flip side, the search capability is a bit better.

And, yes, you can watch Netflix with your Xbox but the roku is easier to
navigate. Just like the Xbox can watch DVD's but I've discovered that
there's a 50/50 chance or worse that the Xbox can watch the same DVD that
I have no problem with in a dedicated DVD player.
