I bought the roku 3. At $100.00 plus tax I was really questioning my purchase at first living on a more fixed income and not trying to waste my money. Well to cut to the chase I love my roku 3 and I don't regret buying it at all. You get free movies,newer and classic, in HD and standart format. You get free webesodes,podcasts,movie trailers,news (mostly NON-LOCAL),world news,T.V. series. DON,T EXPECT thoe to be able to watch live T.V.stations for example like TBS,NBC,MTV,ABC,AMC,CBS,LIFETIME,FOX,FX and so on. Pre recorded episodes can be found of older seasons of most hit sitcoms/series thoe. Their are add-ons to enhance your T.V. viewing on the roku 3 and some DO come at a price. AMAZON PRIME with AMAZON CLOUD PLAY (cloud play comes bundled free with amazon prime subscription) is a really nice app to expand your viewing pleasure. Their movie selection isn't all that big but their sitcom/series section(listed as "shows" and as "prime shows") is really encompassenang. From Dark Shadows to American Horror Story to Nickelodens Are you afraid of the dark (for all you mid to late 80's and early 90's kids) to Dance Moms. Now ONLY the movies and shows marked as PRIME are free with a yearly $100.00 amazon prime subscription. There is a multitude of prime included movies and shows but for the latest season or even say the next to last season for say SONS OF ANARCHY you have to pay per episode or buy the season. So long story short Amazon prime includes free movies and shows along with free music for a $100.00 yearly subscription. It can be used on the roku and any other device that supports the amazon instant video app. College students price is $50 per year by the way. For what I get for free out of the Amazin prime $100.00 yearly subscription I personally will buy a year subscription.(30 day free trial offered just cancle before the offer ends not to be charged if unsatifised. Credit/debit card needed). Now for movies you can get NETFLIX streaming. I only have the mail delivery service of Netflix not the streaming video service so I can't comment on it. Their are other services like PLEX which for $80 one time fee or a monthly fee of around $10 you can stream any media on your home network anyware w ith any device that is compatable with a PLEX app. I've never tried plex so I can't comment. PlayOn is a service for really opening up your viewing content like HULU the free version not HULU Plus and many more free stations like abc,cbs,mtv,vh1 which is a tiny list of examples. It's pricey,$80 but I feel worth it. There's so much to the app I can't explain it all. One MAJOR down side is to use it you must have your PC turned on and not in sleep mode and you must be in range of your home network. Their are many benefits to it tho and so the website is playon.tv I did the one time $80 purchase and I don't regret it. So all in all the ROKU 3 alone is amazing and you can add apps not in the ROKU app store. mkvxstream.blogspot.com. So in my opinion the ROKU 3 is a amazing device. Only 4 stars because my free set of headphones malfunctioned the very first night and only 1 ear bud works now and because of no xfinity go app. remove those 2 personal reasons and it would of garnered a full 5 stars easily.
