- Roku 2 XD on Amazon
Amazon has a post-Christmas promotion going on for the Roku 2 XD that makes the streaming player just $62 US (about 47.4 EUR). This is quite a significant price drop for this $80 player that can stream Full HD 1080p video from services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. As Wireless Goodness reports, the palm sized device connects to your home network via 802.11 b/g/n wireless, and also comes with an HDMI port and A/V composite for linking it to your HDTV, a microSD card slot, and a special remote control. Right now, we don’t know for how long this Roku 2 XD promotion will run, but it seems like it is available only for Amazon Prime members, which I am sure that will shave off some of your initial enthusiasm.

Roku 2 Needs lots of improvement, customer service terrible!"
Cons: No Youtube access, it only has RATERIXX which is TERRIBLE,it has hardly any video selection at all, RATERIXX is a waste of time.I was forced to create an account and give my credit card after first bought.

Summary: We were at first excited to purchase Roku2 player at our Costco, but has been mostly a dissappointment, as mentioned in all the Roku cons above.Will be returning to Costco and leaving same review there as well. Roku customer service also told us they make software changes and upgrades 1-2 times a month, after a few months , we have yet to see anything. They need to overhaul their entire customer service, just terribly lacking!
Not many options when it freezes up. No categories to separate free and pay channels. No response back from customer service, even when they promise to get back to you. Reps not properly trained. Does not play ISO Format.
