Roku's little Digital Video Player is a true bargain. This compact box streams your Netflix subscription right to your TV. The only downside: It only offers 12,000 of those Netflix titles.
Well, the manufacturer just added another 40,000 selections to that lineup. It's not courtesy of Netflix, but Amazon Video On Demand. Of course, you'll have to rent or purchase those titles, but considering that the Roku player is only $99, you probably have a few extra bucks kicking around for rentals.
The box hooks to your TV via HDMI, composite or component cabling. For the broadband, you can use a hardwired setup, but it also has built-in Wi-Fi for those without an Ethernet jack nearby. Register the player, and you're ready to rent -- or buy. Both movie and TV selections are available, with purchases starting around $5. The rentals start at 99 cents, but there are also plenty of freebies to spend your time on.
Existing Roku users should receive the Amazon update sometime over the nex week. -- Rachel Cericola
