I love movies! Who doesn’t? I cannot tell you how much we spend on renting DVD’s and what a hassle it is to get everyone dressed, loaded in the van and to the movie store. It would be great if I could rent a movie online, but watch it on my TV. Wait! There IS a way this can happen. I didn’t believe it at first, until our Roku arrived. Roku is a new, fun and affordable way for you and your family to stay entertained without breaking the bank. Is the current state of the economy forcing you to curtail those movie night outings? Do you need a way to keep the kids occupied while enjoying some “you time”? How about a quiet and inexpensive night in? We have movie and game night every week, so you can only imagine how costly this can get. Looking back at our bank statement, I see movie rentals quite often, so as of now, this is gone, thanks to Roku and NetFlix.
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, then following Easter (tons of Family Get togethers), Mother’s Day, Father’s Day (Shall I go on?) and budgets minimal this year, many do not have the funds for their usual getaway. Instead, why not stay at home this winter and give your loved one the gift of instant, entertainment for a one-time purchase of $99.
Roku, a leading innovator in digital media technology, is providing families with a fun and affordable alternative to home entertainment. Roku has teamed up with Netflix to offer customers the ability to instantly watch more than 12,000 movies and TV episodes, including new releases and hundreds of options in HD, streamed directly to your TV. The best part, if you are like most Netflix customers and on a Netflix Unlimited plan (any plan that costs $8.99 a month or more); there are no limits to how much you can watch instantly.
The Roku Player is surprisingly easy to use and simple to integrate into any home entertainment system. All it takes is connecting the player to any TV and to the Internet. For homes with wireless Internet connectivity, the player is Wi-Fi enabled and offers the ultimate in placement flexibility. With the player’s accompanying remote control, members can browse and make selections right on the TV screen and also have the option to pause, rewind or play anytime just like a DVD.
I wanted to show you how EASY the Roku was for me to install. It took just a few minutes to get the Roku hooked up to my television, and a few more minutes getting my NetFlix account started online. Once it was created, I logged on to NetFlix.com, added movies to my que, then I picked up the remote to Roku, navigated through the menu and there were my movies in que. Tucker was very excited to be able to watch Scooby Doo and Caillou instantly! Check out the picture to the right so you can see how small the Roku is on our entertainment stand.
I installed Roku today, set up my NetFlix account today and we have already watched 2 movies instantly. I am VERY impressed and very excited about this product! If there was ever a gift to get someone… it is the Roku!

About Tanya
I just like to try new things and I also like movies.
I would love this. I would like to be able to download movies when I want to see them, and watch them in our comfortable family room. The Roku and Netflix combo would ensure I could do this.
We love movies. We have not watched many movies in a long time. Thanks.
I would love it because going to the movies with 4 kids, is too expensive.
Love it
I would love to have the Roku because I love movies and this will save me a lot of rental money.
Thank you!
janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) com
With my husband out of work right now, movies and movie rentals are a luxury we are doing without. To be able to watch some newer movies and some great movies from the past would be wonderful. We’d also be thrilled to be able to watch some old tv series from the 60′s and 70′s. We are totally bored with our VHS collection as we’ve seen them all a million times it seems. Plus the VCR isn’t working quite as well as it should be. Our son bought us a DVD player for Christmas but it just gathers dust as we don’t have the spare money to buy or rent DVDs. This would be such a wonderful win for the both of us.
We would love to win. We have not been able to rent movies in a long time. Thanks.
I could use this in my house. We’re one the ones that might slip through the crack in the digital TV transition. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
Wow, it sounds so easy to use -that eve I could master itand it sure would make for a great way to spend a family fun night.
i would love to use a roku since our “free trial” of hbo/cinemax/shotime is running out and the blockbuster down the street has closed.
Awesome
I would love to win a Roku because I have tried over and over to watch movies on my computer and it really bothers me. I would much rather watch them on my t.v., I just didn’t know how that was possible. I also love netflix, so the combination is great! I didn’t even know that this kind of thing existed, but it sounds amazing. Thanks for the great contest.
We love movies. We would enjoy netflix. Thanks.
I would love to have a Roku because it would be instant movie gratification and no more waiting for discs in the mail.
I would love this becuase we live in the sticks and have no good rental places around and limited TV chanel availabilty.
What better prize than winning a Roku
A lot more fun than playing soduku
To watch a Netflix movie
would make me feel real groovie
but right now I am just way too broke-ooo
(hey, it was hard enough to rhyme Roku once…let alone twice)
I have never heard of Roku before but it looks amazing! It sounds like it would be perfect for us – we are always thinking of something we want to watch at the last minute and too impatient to wait for it to come in the mail!
I’d be so thrilled to have Netflix-the local video rental only carries new releases and there are so many old classics I’ve been dying to see. Sadly Netflix just isn’t in the budget right now, but this would be a fun treat. Thanks for the chance.
In this day, date nights in versus going out to dinner/movies are necessary for our budget conscious family. This looks like a really cool tech item to help us out in that quest!

We have no cable so it gets boring because my family loves to watch movies, due to unemployment we can no longer afford alot of dvd rentals. My children would love to have this so we could have family movie night again. Thank you.
This Roku player is Cool!
i’d like to win one of these
it is so amazing
We love movies and would love to try netflix again. Thanks.
I want this
I twittered.

I’d love to win this because our family loves watching movies. We do it as a family.
We love movies. Thanks.
Like you I have a family that devours movies! We are addicted to redbox and netflix, roku sounds perfect for us.
please include me
God bless
my friend has netflix and loves it, i have never tried netflix but really want to win
i had never heard of the Roku Player before, but now i have!
We love movies. This would be great.
I would love a roku to instantly watch movies and entertain guests
Count me in
Had never heard of this product but now that I have would LOVE to have it! Netflix and I are good pals and I think Netflix would love this almost as much as I would!
Healthy Happy 2009!
I love Netflix and I had to cancel them due to money problems. I would love to win. Thanks.
This is pretty cool. You don’t have to worry about taking dvds back to the store.
subscriber
this would be perfect for my sona and daughter in law who if you can believe it do not have a television – they watch movies but not tv – amazing to me in this day and age – so what a great present for them!!!
I have done away with my cable service and have been thinking of the roku as an alternative. I just can’t justify purchasing one yet.
This is an amazing prize. We have not been renting movies for many months so this would be wonderful to win. Thanks.
Um…the last movie I saw in a theater was “Knocked Up.” My husband took a long lunch and we went to a matinee showing while our son was at daycare. This was much cheaper and more entertaining than the birth classes the hospital offered, and was our last big date (and mental preparation) before my second child arrived.
Now that baby #3 has joined us, I may never see a movie in the theater again (unless it’s something animated that I’ll pay WAY too much for and will have to leave the theater twelve times for bathroom visits/diaper changes during. How is it that they never have to go at the same time?)
I hadn’t heard of the Roku but it sounds amazing. Even attempting to watch a half-hour sitcom like The Office without interruption has been a chore. We’ve kicked around getting a DVR – but the Roku would be a more versatile option. I may finally see a TV show in it’s entirety AND maybe be able to comment on a movie that’s come out in the last five years (except for “Knocked Up” – I’ve seen that one!)
We can’t really afford cable any more– I think with a roku and netflix –we could stop paying $85 a month for cable. That extra money each month would be a huge help.
I would love to have it because it is so hard to get out with the baby and rent movies. I also end up forgetting to take them back. This is so much better and less of a hassle! Thanks for the giveaway!
netflix is available within tivo. and now with roku, no more computer monitor neck pain.
My wish list fulfilled!
This is a great giveaway! The Roku is a great invention!
Pick me please
We never find the time to run all across town to Blockbuster to get a movie, be able to watch whatever movie, whenever we can would be a lifesaver!
I love that it is so easy and small. We love movies so this would be awesome
I would love to try netflix and the roku sounds great. Thanks.
I would love the Roku because I’m tired of hooking up my computer to the television when we’re watching our Netflix movies. It makes my whole entertainment system area look messy with the cords dangling since our television is hung on the wall.. maybe I’m a perfectionist but it’s driving me insane! lol
I would love to have this because I love Netflix and don’t have a good enough computer to use the streaming function! Thanks for the contest
http://kennedyandzach.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-many-dvd-players-do-you-go-through.html
I blogged about this giveaway…and the other topics of movie watching lol
I don’t have cable because I can’t afford it, so a Netflix subscription will be a big help keeping me entertained.
I haven’t been to the theater to watch a movie in over a YEAR! Seriously! My husband and I love movies but his back gets really sore sitting in the chairs at the theater (or so he tells me!!). Soooooo…we watch ALL of our movies at home. If I’m not renting from the store I’m paying for the pay per view movies. It adds up quick! And I can’t believe I’ve never heard of Roku before. How cool is that? WANT!!!
I would love to try netflix and the roku sounds amazing. Thanks.
Our family would love one of these! Sounds great!
Count me in; great product
this roku player is a wonderful prize
i’m big on watching children’s/family movies
I am impatient but LOVE movies so naturally I would LOVE Roku! And everyone loves netflix
I don’t like commercials – ROKU lets me avoid them!
I’d love to have a Roku so I couls watch movies on my PC.
We are big movie fans in my house, and being able to select and watch instantly anything from the 12,000 choices would be awesome!
[...] Movie Night with Roku & NetFlix [...]
It would be nice to have this while on bed rest for my twin pregnancy.

We love watching movies and then wouldn’t have to go out for them
My husband was just talking about someone needing to come up with a gadget like this! We didn’t know it existed! Thanks!!
I am a huge movie buff but tend not to watch films more than twice. This would be the perfect gadget for me!
I would love to try this because I dont believe its as good as the reviews and maybe,just maybe,when I try it myself I’ll be singing a different tune
I would looooove Roku! Right now we use Netflix, but the kids have a tendency to hide their favorite rentals so that they can keep watching them!!! LOL! My husband is a HUGE movie buff, but now with 3 kids under the age of 5 and the nearest movie theater 30 miles away-well, we don’t get to go to many movies anymore. This would be FANTASTIC! I would LOVE the ability to choose from Netflix’s vast assortment of workout videos as well! I get so tired of working out to the same video over and over and over….and now that I am desperately trying to lose weight it would be FABULOUS to be able to have a rental store on my tv at my disposal! oooooooohhhhhh, I want one soooooo bad!!!!!!
I would love this it would be great to be able to watch movies through it on demand. I am not too great with blog things and dont have the slightest idea on how to add you all to facebook and such but would like to enter this way at least thanks.
Netflix would make it soooo easy for me still to be able to relax with out all the extra running around!
My husband keeps ranting and raving about this Roku player! It sounds like a great invention!
i have always wanted one of these! I have used netflix before, and we love it. We are huge movie fans
This would be great for us – mainly for my daughter! We don’t have cable. She’s always asking to watch something that’s not on. It’s hard to explain to a 3 year old why she can’t. What we do now is check out DVDs for her from the library. This would be a lot easier than driving to the library each week. At least when we let her watch some tv, it will be something we definitely want her to see rather than whatever happens to be on at the moment. We also have an infant, so we don’t go out to see movies. Maybe (if we got them both to sleep early) my husband and I could watch something besides Caillou or Maisy.
We have not been able to rent any movies in quite a few months. This would be a wonderful blessing. Thanks.
Lazy. I dont’ have to move off the couch to watch my movies
I’d Lovvve to win! My fiance and I just leased our new apartment and don’t have much and we would use this sooo much!
We love movies and have not been able to see most of the new movies that have come out in quite a few months due to money constrants. This would be a wonderful blessing for my husband and me. Thanks for the chance.
I HATE waiting for the movies to reach my mailbox. All that movie time wasted!
i want a roku because when i’m in the mood to watch a movie, i can watch one with roku asap!
This is so great. I have always wanted to download movies, but did not want to gather around my little laptop computer. This would be great because I could still download but watch on my larger television. There are so many movies I would like to see!
It would be so nice to have one of these so as to avoid having to chase my 2 year old down and get her dressed evertime I wanted to watch a good movie.
I also twittered this page here
https://twitter.com/cweller75
Great prize – count me in please
This is such a great idea! I am 84 and don’t drive anymore, so this would be an awesome alternative for me!
I really really really want netflix…. thank you for the great contest I love movies….
The Roku has to be the coolest new gadget! I’d love to bump up my Netflix with a Roku!
We love watching movies and we do have netflix but it still just takes so long living out in the boondocks where we do so we’d LOVE to try this! Thanks!
I’d love to win this! We rarely go out to the movies, when we look for something to watch on TV? nothing!
It would give hubby and I a chance to watch movies together again
Thanks!
I would love love love to win one of these for our bedroom. We do not have satellite hooked up to that room and I would love to be able to take a mommy break and curl up in bed and watch a movie. When you have twins its so hard to escape and I love Netflix. This is such a cool device and I love the wireless feature so we can hook it up to any of our televisions and get a movie for the kids. But most of all Id love to win so I can take some much needed time outs for myself, and I love to watch all the romantic comedies, and thriller movies.

This would be great for us as my teenage son had the bright idea of downloading movies off the internet. Because we went over our alloted bandwith we have been charged by our cable company so our cable bill already exorbinate are even more. I like this idea and it probably doesn’t affect the bandwidth count. Thanks for a great giveawsy!
We love movies here. We used to have movie night every Saturday but the cost was just too high. We could definetly afford 8.99/month and still be able to enjoy some movies.
Pick me
We are movie fanatics at our house! This would be so great as we already get Netflix.
I made my husband cancel because we needed to save money. I would love to win this for him.
I love it that you can watch a movie whenever you want. Sometimes I get movies and they sit around for a week, meanwhile we hear of one we really want to see and have to send the other movies back before we can get the next one….Roku would eliminate that!
Perfect to get rid of cable TV, this is much cheaper and a lot more fun!
Thanks
I read about this and it really sounds great. To be able to watch movies immediately with out waiting for the mail to deliver the movies would be wonderful.
This would make things so easy and convenient! I know that Netflix & Roku provide a great resource. Would love to win!
Our family is movie and tv fanatics. This would be a wonderful prize to win.
This would be great for me since I broke my leg last month & I’m spending lots of time kicking back in bed recovering.
I’ve been asking my wife for one ever since we got our Netflix membership. She keeps saying no.

I would love to win. I have been thinking about getting a roku, but dont have the extra money to spend. We dont really use netflix’s watch it now feature because do to space its uncomfortable for us to watch movies on the computer. Also, we dont have cable so it would be great to be able to access more than our netflix rental dvds right on our tv. Great giveaway. Thank you for the chance to win.
This is the dream prize of any vidiophile!
I’d love to have this in my tv room, I have a netflix account (have had it for years) but hate watching the instant movies on the computer!

We are movie buffs and this is perfect. A great idea and also the perfect present ,wow,I love this and a money saver. No more waiting for the movie or rushing back to the movie rental because you forgot to return.
Thanks for this awesome giveaway
This device sounds too easy. I won’t have to wait for the mail or miss weekends.
I really love the selection of movies that Netflix has–I would love to have this Roku player so I could watch the instant selections on my tv instead of on my computer! Thanks for the contest!
This is the first I’ve heard of it and it sounds great, thanks.
I have been wanting one of these ever since they came out. There is so many great older movies available instantly on Netflix, and it would be great to be able to watch them on the big television. This is the perfect solution.
I would love to have a Roku. My husband is always running out of movies to watch and it would be great so he could watch them whenever. And every time I rent a movie for myself I never get around to watching it. We just end up returning them (late) without me seeing them, so I could actually watch a movie when I want to and not have to worry about getting it back to the store on time.

I have always loved movies. They take me out of my own life and into other exciting worlds that may be scary, romantic, exciting, or funny. But we don’t go to movies any more because we now have to think, “do we need it or just want it” before we buy things or go places. We are trying to stick with the “Need it” things in order to save money. Thanks for the chance to win this.
I would love to have this so my family could stay in out of the cold and watch movies. It would also be a big money saver.
Living in the boonies, I can’t get cable and satellite is too pricey. But I do have my love of movies and DSL. I really need this!
I would like to win this..I will be able to watch all the movies I could on my TV and get Netflix as well…thank you for an awesome giveaway!!!
It’s Friday, Grandpa and Grandma have picked up big bro and princess in the afternoon. Dinner is cooking and Grandma checks the movies that came in from her online movie rental. Oh no princess didn’t come last week so she has a movie but Grandpa forgot to mail the others and big bro has already seen his movie because he was here last week…. Grandpa also watched his movie last week. Poor Grandma hasn’t had a movie she’d really likes to see in heaven knows how long. Will you please save this family with a Roku and Netflix account of their own so that princess will watch her movie, big bro will see something new and grandpa has a movie to watch when they go to bed and grandma’s on the computer…….and best of all deserving grandma will finally see all those movies everyone else calls “mushy” .
Because it is the best combination of technology and convenience. We are always saying that we should rent a movie, but don’t want to make the trip to the video store. This would be so great and convenient.
This sounds great. I could really use one.
We are total movie addicts here-this would be so great! Thank you!
I have read about the Roku and think it is a great idea. Would love to try it out.
it would just be to much fun
I have always loved movies, all my children grew up watching old movies and quote them all the time. we always watched on tv, our family was too big to go the movies unless it was the drive in. I still don’t spend money on movies and would rather watch them on my time {morning}. hadn’t heard of this. thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to win 6 months of netflix. I have heard a lot of good things about them. My daughter loves them. Thanks.
I would love this and could really use it.
I love movies!
instant net flix movies, that works for me, thank you for the info
I’m such a gadget geek! My computer monitor is so small in comparison with my TV screen I could ‘rent’ online and watch on the larger screen, what’s not to love?
You have been blogged about!!!

So my whole family loves watching movies. This would be perfect! No more 4 different laptops streaming four different movies! We could all watch one together! Yea!

(A dad chained to the laptop to watch movies.)
I would love to own a player and always like the latest technology.
I always loose dvds I would love to get this for my kiddos
i tweeted about this on twitter…www.twitter.com/txangie
i totally need one… we love netflix!!!! we had to watch an online movie streaming through my hubby’s laptop… it sucked!!!
I’d like it to watch movies.
i don’t have cable! i’d love this!
JeansandTs@hotmail.com
I actually think I could use this. I’m so technology challenged. This one looks easy and you can hook it up through the router to wifi. I’d really like the chance to try this.
My dh has been wanting to try Netflix. We don’t like the high prices for pay-per-view movies on our current setup. I haven’t heard of ROKU before. Neat!
I’d like the convenience of it all
Now this would be great. What a savings this could become. I have never heard of this but enjoyed reading and learning about it Thanks
We use Netflix now, but I can’t tell you how many times we have had the same movie sitting there for several days after watching it because well we forget to put it out for the mail. Roku would be awesome because we would not have to remember to return movies. Plus Ohio weather at times tends to keep us inside during the winter because of the ice and snow. Nothing like cozying up and watching a movie without leaving the house.
I have never heard of a Roku before! This sounds like such a fantastic and useful aide for viewing movies! It sounds easy enough to use that I could do it-and that is a big plus in my book!
I would love to win this so my husband and I could watch movies together after a busy day. It really is hard to find things on TV and so this way we could relax together and enjoy some down time-just the two of us! A time of snuggling, plus maybe a little treat! Sounds very relaxing and a bit romantic, too!
We have a Friday night movie night with my 2 kids every week and this would be awesome
Your button is also on my blog.
I have a confession to make… I am actually a superhero. Yes, I am outing myself right here on MommyGoggles. Now, not everyone truly appreicates my particular superpower, but at least I do have a cool name and ocassionally even wear tights and a cape (sweatpants and a baggy sweater are usually my superhero outfit). You can call me “Ms. Couch Potato”. After a hard day of working as my alter ego out in the “real” world, I am capable of returning to my not-so-secret lair and positioning myself on the sofa to watch movies for hours on end. My feats include personalized movie festivals with a theme (think… football movies, end of the world blow ‘em up movies, etc.) or perhaps I will focus my super senses on a particular actor for the evening (Kevin Bacon, George Clooney, Don Cheadle, Reese Witherspoon, etc.).
It would do all of humanity such a favor to award me the ROKU and Netflix membership. I would have more time to devote to my super hero practices. I would be able to avoid exposing my true identity to folks at the video rental stores. Help me keep my identity secret. Please let me win!

Oh my this would be perfect for my family. Now that we have two children we never go to the movies. If we do it is to see a movie the girls want to see. And although we have directv which offers pay per view. They limit how long you can keep the movie. I think you can keep a movie for 24 hours. Which if you have kids and work you know that might not be enough time to watch a movie. I know sad. And lets face it I barely can stay up past my kids bedtime of 8:00. You would never know I’m just 35. So I would love to win the Roku which seems like a great way for my family or just my husband and I to watch and enjoy movies. Wow we might even be able to have date night.

This would be amazing for us!! My husband and I LOVE watching movies… we rent them all the time, and up until recently it was fairly easy for us b/c we used our charter “on demand” which we could rent instantly from the tv with… but this month when the bill came in the mail I about flipped b/c our 6 month special pricing is over, and I didn’t realize how much our $3.99 movies were REALLY adding up… so I’ve looked hard into getting NetFlix, and want a way to play the movies instantly still… this would be PERFECT!!!! Thanks for the amazzzzing giveaway!!!

We Love Netflix! I use there instant view on the internet all the time but my computer runs awfully slow so it’s a pain. We have the 3 at a time subscription now and it’s great but would love to supplement it with the Roku so we can watch movies all the time on the tv screen.
Rocku really rocks!!! What a great new idea! Thanks for the contest!
i never heard of this before. it sounds great
would love to win this..we will be able to watch all the movies on our TV and get Netflix also…thanks for the great giveaway
This looks so cool! I never remember to go rent movies, and I haven’t jumped into Netflix yet. But I’d sure give it a try to be able to have instant movies!
We live in the mountains and our TV choices are limited – Roku would be a way for us to have more variety in quality entertainment. Thanks for the chance to win!
I adore Netflix but can’t watch on my computer because it’s so old and has no sound. The Roku would be so nice to have so I could stream movies to my TV. I would watch a lot of movies if I had one. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
I LOVE to watch movies, and I quit my Blockbuster membership in a snit because I was mad that they changed their policy mid-stream about how long we could keep the movies for. All I need is one good reason to become a lifetime Netflix subscriber, and this would certainly do it
I would love to win a subscription to Netflix and a Roku player! My husband and I have talked about getting a Netflix subscription in the past, but just never have-this would be so much better!

If I had a Roku and Netflix sub…. I wouldnt’ have to hear every single night “there’s nothing good on TV”….. And when I go to help find something, all I hear is “seen that”, “seen that”, etc. I know this would definately be a god-send in our house.
My two young grandsons have recently moved in with us. We can’t get to the movies much due to the cost, so this would be a great addition to their entertainment.
this would be the greatest prize EVER! I am a HUGE fan of Netflix (and a customer since their inception) and i recently heard about this Roku but I can’t afford it right now. I’d be so thrilled to win I’d flip!
fast and easy way to set the kids up with a movie
i would love a roku because our main source of movies, blockbuster, just closed it’s store nearest us

We don’t have cable anymore so we watch a ton of movies now! This would make it so much easier! I love how easy it is to operate! I could do that even when my husband isn’t home! LOL!
We love netflix. We have had netflix for almost a year now. I have already been looking at the roku because I would love to get movies directly to my tv. For some reason we go through dvd players like water. Our whole family loves watching dvds. We recently dropped getting HBO and Cinamax because it was getting too expensive. It is so much cheaper to rent the series from netflix. You can rent so many tv series that now a days you dont even need cable really. I would love the roku first because I am sick of buying new dvd players…and secondly because our mailman sucks! Yep…that is right…I know netflix can only deliver the movies as fast as they get them and send them out…but our mailman sometimes doesnt get to my house until 5pm so the movies dont go out until another day later. Then by the time they get the new one delivered it is another couple days because its later again. So I would love to have the roku so I wouldnt have those days missing…I could really take advantage of having movies here whenever.
We use Netflix quite a bit but would love access to 12K movies. We go to the movies more than we should and if we had the Roku I think we would do that less. Thanks,

I would love to win for my hubby for Valentine’s Day. We both love movies, but had to cancel all services with the economy the way it is. We miss movie night the most,though we’ve tried to salavage it by watching/re-watching old movies we own…Help get us out of this rut!
I would love to have a Netflix prize.
The entire family loves watching movies. We have Family Movie Night every Friday. We haven’t been able to afford to rent DVDs lately so we’ve borrowed DVDs from friends. Unfortunately, we’ve watched all the DVDs that friends own and we’re watching reruns of movies. Netflix is such a fabulous service.
Wow this is an amazing idea! I wouldn’t need cable with this!
I loooooove movies!!
I’m tweeting you too!!

What a wonderful idea this Roku is! I never heard of this before, but I love being able to instantly watch movies from Netflix. No waiting….this is amazing. Being a Mom with young kids, it’s not always easy to run out for rentals. I really love this idea!
Thank you so much for offering this very generous and great prize!
I work in a low paying establishment, but a least I have a job. This doesn’t allow me to have a lot of extra money for entertainment. We love the movies and going out to a movie is so expensive so it is rare we go out. We also love home movie night and this would be a great having your own theater right at home. No 5.00 for popcorn, 4.00 for a coke. Run by Wal Mart and you can have a great night with all the fixings for a couple of dollars. Please consider me for Roku Player and membership my family and I will put it to good use. Thanks
love to have it because there is no price limit on what we watch and my family watches a lot of tv and movies
ok plain and simple- look at the time and we are up watching Mamma Mia- my husband hates tv and is home 24/7/365 so we watch dvds rented or bought. This would save a ton of money seriously…I hate commercials too but get tired of him beotching at me and then since it is a commercial eat time or bathroom and movies missed part of it—oh lord save my butt and sanity so he can watch more movies straight thru and maybe I can sleep and he would not even know since I would be cuddled up next to him…..this looks absoulutely awesome!
I would love this. It is such a pain having to go out and look for movie rentals, only to find they are out. This is so easy and new!
We do have netflix and I love it. I think this would be a great addition to our tv viewing. Thanks for the chance.
cancel my nexflix to save money, i got laid off

I’d love to win it because we have a TV, but no cable or antenna so we mostly watch movies. The Roku would make it SO much more convenient!

Oh my…this is way too cool. I’m a huge movie fan. I go to the theater once a week and we rent movies to watch at home every weekend. We’re big fans of Redbox because it’s so cheap and they’re very close to our house. We’ve tossed the idea around of getting Netflix but just haven’t done it yet. This would definitely be the thing that would get us to Netflix. I’m afraid we’d never leave the couch again if we had access to movies like this!
Great giveaway! Thanks!

We never get out to movies anymore and whenever we manage to rent them it never seems like we have the time. It would be great to have the option of seeing what we want, whenever we want to without having to go to the store or accrue rental fees.
tweeted you!

I’d ADORE a Roku Player! I can’t do my work on the computer and keep a small screen running in the corner. The only way I could watch Netflix movies from my computer would be to put them on the TV, but I don’t have the proper set-up. Be still my heart! Roku to my res-ku!
ahhh I lost my comment!!!!
OK, so Hubby and I are huge movie fans. We watch movies every night together. It’s kinda our thing, we love cuddling up on the couch and checking out the new movies! Of course, this also means we have to go out and rent them.. AHHHHHH as you know this can really cost a lot of money and gas! It’s already hard enough trying to find a video store that is open here in Arrowhead!
So why would I like the ROKU? Well, that is easy. Hubby and I are HUGE movie fans. We LOVE watching them and do every day. We would love to be able to save that extra money and use it for something more important… you know bills.
