I know this is old news, but I'm really thinking about getting one of those Roku box's. If you don't know what the Roku box is, its that Netflix movie player that was released a little while ago. $99 bucks and you can stream "instant watch" movies from your Netflix account to your TV. Really is a very inexpensive solution to take advantage of that nice little perk Netflix has.

The reason Ive been thinking about getting one of those boxes was the addition of Starz, including first run movies as a part of Netflix Instant watch feature. Ive heard that the Netflix movies alone got really old really fast, being that most were older less significant movies. But add Starz and I'm looking at that player again. The thing that is really tipping me over on the "buy" side is the new talks Ive been reading about that mention the possibility of other online video services, such as Hulu.com being added. Hulu.com I think is the deal winner for me.

I can wait for the Xbox update that adds Netflix instant watch support, but the Roku box is so cheap (and wireless) that I wouldn't mind having it as a backup, or secondary option (maybe for the bedroom).
