When the Roku player was brand new, offered by Netflix, I couldn't wait to buy one. The Roku let me watch movies instantly at home (instead of waiting for them to arrive via a Netflix mail subscription). I loved - and still love - my Roku player. I like its relatively small size, decent selection of movies and other benefits. After buying it, I wrote enthusiastically about it here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/775859/netflix_bypasses_its_computer_or_mail.html .

Recently, the Roku player has gained some attractive new options, features which ought to send it soaring to the top of anyone's Christmas gift list. For those on a budget, it could be the Christmas buy of the year, sure to delight many family members and friends. They won't have to know you shelled out around $100 for an entertainment option with so many attractive features.

This Roku player - now with both Netflix and Starz movies available for instant streaming - should be a serious contender on anyone's Christmas gift list this year. Start with the price tag for the Roku player, just $99. The membership fee for Netflix is also low, starting at $8.99 a month. But the cost-saving benefits don't stop there. Instant streaming of movies make this one a no-brainer when it comes to saving money - compared to driving to a movie theater or rental store and buying or renting a movie.
