Review Roku 2 XS 1080p Streaming Player

This little player, about the size of a hockey puck, is cheap, easy, and fun. Roku 2 operates on a modified Linux OS. This gives this device a lot of flexibility. Roku has also given out an API so others are writing applications for the device. There are already some games available, again some free, some pay. If you buy the XS model you get a motion controller, similar to the WII one.

Finally, my opinion, it's simple to use, has amazing amount of variety, and the future for this device is very bright. Streaming is the future of media, but you can get a good taste of it now with this device. Find out more reviews
