What benefit -- if any -- is there to having a Roku device versus a Blu-Ray device that has WiFi supporting Netflix, Hulu, etc.?
Anything?
Thanks

Thanks If you're just looking for Netflix and Hulu, probably not much. There are over 900 other public and private apps available for the Roku, though, including access to a lot of other online and local content through server based apps like Plex.

Thanks. What are some examples of the more popular content and apps available through Roku?

If you happen to have a membership to BJ's Wholesale Club, you can get the Roku 2 XS (plus a free HDMI cable and 2 months of Hulu Plus) for $69.99 shipped plus applicable sales tax: Link
Unfortunately I believe the deal ends tonight at midnight, which is only an hour or two away for those of us on the East Coast.

My bad. Put one in my cart earlier today, never finished the ordering process for one reason or another; should've refreshed my shopping cart before posting.
Don't forget the 3.5% CashBack from FW. I went through the OP's links to activate the 25% off, then went through the FW CashBack link in another window to complete the purchase and ensure the CashBack.

I just picked up to Roku HD's for 39.99 + 5.00 in free Amazon movies and free 2 day shipping for prime members at Amazon
Any referee to a site comparing the various Models of Roku boxes with each other? I am an Apple TV user and curious why Roku has three different models.
$69.99 at Costco instore and online thru Sunday. Grabbed 2 tonight at the local warehouse.

If you use Discover card on Amazon, they upgrade you to free one day shipping (even for non-prime menbers), no tax, plus $5 credit from Amazon video. Personally I think its better than the $25 off deal from Roku.
